Which of the following is used to store water?
A
large vacuole
B
chloroplast
C
ribosome
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are like storage bubbles which are found mostly in plant cells. They occupy most of the portion of plant cells. These are used for storage of food or water.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Plants have large vacuoles because they store water in them. When you water a plant it is the vacuole that takes up all that water from osmosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant has the largest vacuole than animal cells because in plant cells the larger central vacuole performs two functions, one is to store water and the other is to help the plant remain upright.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
