Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to storing wastes and water, the vacuole also helps to support the cell. This is because the liquid inside the vacuole exerts an outward pressure on the cell, much like the water inside a water balloon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Cell Wall: this provides extra strength and support for the plant cell so it doesn’t burst when gaining water by endosmosis. Chloroplasts: this is where photosynthesis takes place. Large permenant vacuole: this stores several pigments, ions, enzymes and organic and inorganic substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cellulose molecules provide tensile strength to the primary cell wall.
