Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I am a large storage unit in the cell. I am very large in plant cells and I store water, food and waste. I help support the plant. When I start to shrink due to lack of water, the plant may wilt. I am the ____
A
Cell Wall
B
Cell Membrane
C
Lysosome
D
Central Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The part of a cell that is used as storage space is the vacuole. Vacuoles are found in eukaryotic cells and are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells. In a plant cell, the vacuole is a large central space that stores water, as well as other important molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles-Simply put, vacuoles are storage tanks of the cell. Plant cells have one (1) Large Central Vacuole. Animal cells have a few small vacuoles or none at all. Vacuoles store primarily water, food and waste material.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘cell wall’

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.
