Which organelle is used to store material inside a cell?
A
lysosome
B
vacuole
C
chloroplast
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole stores salts, minerals, pigments and proteins within the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The vacuole is a cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. They are found in both animal and plant cells. The vacuole of plant cells, known as the Central Vacuole, is larger in size compared to the multiple small vacuoles of the animal cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two organelles that store materials for the cell are the vesicles and vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Besides carbohydrates, plant vacuoles store proteins, especially in seeds. Leguminous crops such as lentils, peas and soybeans, as well as cereals such as wheat, rye and barley contain specialised protein storage vacuoles which keep a supply of nitrogen for seed germination.

Detailed explanation-5: -The vacuole is the most conspicuous organelle in plant cells. Because of its large volume, it is involved in storing many inorganic and organic molecules, and in so doing, functions in homeostasis.
