Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Used for water/food storage in both plant and animal cells
A
lysosome
B
ribosome
C
vacuole
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuole is a cell organelle present in both plant and animal cells. It stores food, water, toxic waste etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -In plant cells, the function of vacuoles is to store water and maintain turgidity of the cell. Vacuoles in animal cells store water, ions and waste.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Food vacuoles are found in cells of plants, protists, animals and fungi. Food vacuoles are circular portions of the plasma membrane that capture or encircle food particles when they enter the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
