Which organelle primarily stores water (and helps maintain turgor pressure) in a typical plant cell?
A
Central vacuole
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondrion
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem and recall their primary functions in a plant cell.
Recall that the Golgi apparatus is mainly involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell.
Remember that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
Understand that the rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and has ribosomes attached to its surface.
Recognize that the central vacuole is a large organelle in plant cells that stores water and helps maintain turgor pressure, which keeps the plant cell rigid.
