Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle stores extra water and nutrients?
A
Lysosome
B
Vacuole
C
Vesicle
D
Ribosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles. First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell. It occupies about 80% of the plant cell volume. Q. In plant cells, vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -How Do Cells Store Nutrients? A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that contains water and other substances. You can think of it as the refrigerator of the cell because it stores salts, carbohydrates, sugars, and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Among its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant.
