Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I’ve been called the storage tank by those with little taste. I am a sack filled with water, food, enzymes and waste. I am the ____
A
Central Vacuole
B
Lysosome
C
Mitochondria
D
Gogli Apparatus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In all cells they store sugars, proteins, minerals, lipids, wastes, salts, water, and enzymes. This is why they are called the “storage tank” of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells also contain fluid-filled sacs called vacuoles. The vacuole fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell. In plant cells, a large central vacuole takes up most of the space in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Just like an empty storage bin can be filled with a variety of things to keep for later, a vacuole is similar in that it is a space available for the cell to hold things. Both plant and animal cells contain vacuoles. Vacuoles in plant cells are much larger than those in animal cells.
