Which organelle is like the warehouse because it stores materials?
A
vacuole
B
endoplasmic reticulum
C
golgi apparatus
D
lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuole stores water, food, and other materials needed by the cell like a warehouse stores materials needed by the city.

Detailed explanation-2: -Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, golgi body, or simply golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The golgi can be thought of as the “packaging, modifying and shipping warehouse” of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instead of the large “vacuolar” organelles that are found in plants and fungi, animal cells possess lysosomes that are smaller in size and are enriched with hydrolytic enzymes similar to those found in the vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-4: -They help in the storage and disposal of various substances. They can store food or other nutrients required by a cell to survive. They also store waste products and prevent the entire cell from contamination. The vacuoles in plant cells are larger than those in the animal cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Different types of cell vacuoles store different substances, such as alkaloids, protein enzymes, inorganic salts, sugars, etc., and play important roles in multiple signaling pathways.
