When you water a plant, it tends to “perk up” or stand a little taller. This is because plant cells have an organelle designed to store water and other things for later use. What organelle would be plentiful in plants and used for this purpose?

A	Large Central Vacuole
B	Ribosomes
C	Endoplasmic Reticulum
D	Cell Membrane

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -A vacuole can store water, waste products, food, and other cellular materials.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.
