What is one basic function of the vacuoles?
A
circulating oxygen
B
producing food
C
controlling cell processes
D
storing water
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: -Basic storage function of vacuoles As the largest organelle in mature plant cells, the vacuole exhibits complex and diverse functions. First, as a closed compartment, vacuoles can store free amino acids, sugars, and ions. They can also transport key molecules through specific channel proteins on the tonoplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles store nutrients and water on which a cell can rely for its survival. They also store the waste from the cell and prevents the cell from contamination. Hence, it is an important organelle.

Detailed explanation-4: -contribute to the rigidity of the plant using water to develop hydrostatic pressure. store nutrient and non-nutrient chemicals. break down complex molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell. Containing waste products. Containing water in plant cells. Maintaining internal hydrostatic pressure or turgor within the cell. Maintaining an acidic internal pH. Containing small molecules. More items
