Multiple Choice
In plant cells, what organelle primarily stores water and a variety of dissolved substances such as ions, pigments, and waste products?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Central vacuole
C
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem and recall their primary functions in plant cells.
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 the rough endoplasmic reticulum is primarily responsible for protein synthesis due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface.
Understand that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
Recognize that the central vacuole in plant cells is a large organelle that stores water, ions, pigments, and waste products, helping maintain cell turgor and overall cell homeostasis.
