Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In cells, water and food are stored in organelles referred to as ____
A
lysosomes
B
vacuoles
C
Golgi bodies
D
cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are the membrane-bound organelle. It is the storage bubbles found mostly in plant cells. They occupy most of the portion of plant cells. These are used for storage of food, water, amino acids, sugars, organic acids and some proteins. They also store toxic metabolic by-products or end products of plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole is a large, round sac found in the cytoplasm. It stores water, food, wastes, or other materials needed by the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food. Don’t forge that vacuoles can also hold the plant waste products. Those waste products are slowly broken into small pieces that cannot hurt the cell. Vacuoles hold onto things that the cell might need, just like a backpack.

Detailed explanation-4: -Function of Food Vacuole Food vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within a cell, which contain food matter to be digested. These can be thought of as intracellular “stomachs, ” where food is stored while it is broken down and its nutrients are extracted.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles are storage organelles for water and dissolved minerals. Plant cells have a single large central vacuole while animal cells have numerous small vacuoles if any. The central vacuole of the plant cells helps it to maintain its volume and structure.
