Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This organelle stores water, and is very big in plant cells
A
nuclolus
B
ribosomes
C
golgi bodies
D
vacuoles
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. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell. It occupies about 80% of the plant cell volume.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells additionally possess large, fluid-filled vesicles called vacuoles within their cytoplasm. Vacuoles typically compose about 30 percent of a cell’s volume, but they can fill as much as 90 percent of the intracellular space. Plant cells use vacuoles to adjust their size and turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles store water Vacuoles in plant cells are large because their main function is to store water for the plant. The central vacuole in a plant cell can take up to 30 to 90 percent of the area of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The central vacuole is a large vacuole found inside of plant cells. A vacuole is a sphere filled with fluid and molecules inside a cell. The central vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.
