Understand the function of each organelle listed: Central vacuole, Chloroplast, Lysosome, and Mitochondrion.
Central vacuole: This organelle is large and prominent in plant cells, responsible for storing nutrients and waste products, and maintaining turgor pressure.
Chloroplast: Found in plant cells, chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
Lysosome: Typically found in animal cells, lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.
