Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a plant is able to break out of a seed or goes from being wilted to full, this is because-
A
the vacuole of the plant is empty
B
the vacuole of the plant is full
C
the chloroplast is absorbing water
D
the mitochondria is absorbing water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasmolysis is the shrinking of protoplasm away from the cell wall of a plant or bacterium. The protoplasmic shrinking is often due to water loss via exosmosis, thereby resulting in gaps between the cell wall and the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Due to the loss of water from the plant, the cell wall of leaf cells has contracted away and the cell has started to shrink. This state is known as the flaccid state. Therefore, the cells of the leaves in the wilted state are in flaccid condition.
