Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of a plant cell stores water for use in photosynthesis?
A
Chloroplast
B
Cell Membrane
C
Vacuole
D
Nucleus
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: -Vacuoles. First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong, upright structures; and vacuoles help regulate how cells handle water and storage of other molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Among its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.
