Which organelle, found only in plant cells is responsible for supporting and making the plant rigid
A
vacuole
B
cell wall
C
ribosome
D
cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organelles found only in plant cells include chloroplast, cell wall and a vacuole. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis. Plant cells are rigid and have a hexagonal shape because of the presence of cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles can be large organelles occupying between 30% and 90% of a cell by volume. Vacuoles appear to have three main functions, they: contribute to the rigidity of the plant using water to develop hydrostatic pressure.
