Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle stores water for use in photosynthesis?
A
Chloroplast
B
Golgi
C
Vacuole
D
Canteen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The central vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell. It also pushes the contents of the cell toward the cell membrane, which allows the plant cells to take in more light energy for making food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists discovered that a distinct organelle, the vacuole, plays a critical role in regulating the delivery of CO2 to the photosynthesis-conducting chloroplasts. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast, and contain a wide range of inorganic ions and molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are storage organelles for water and dissolved minerals. Plant cells have a single large central vacuole while animal cells have numerous small vacuoles if any. The central vacuole of the plant cells helps it to maintain its volume and structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Central vacuoles are large, membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells that act as a storage space for water and other molecules in the cell.
