Plants have a large ____ for storing water.
A
mitochondria
B
nucleus
C
vacuole
D
golgi body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells are known to have bigger vacuoles than that of animal cells as they need to store food and water. This is because the plant don’t possess the ability to move freely like that of animals. Thus, they possess large vacuoles as a reservoir in unfavorable conditions.

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: -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-4: -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-5: -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. If you look at a plant cell under a microscope, the central vacuole looks like a bubble.
