In plant cells, which organelle primarily stores water and helps maintain turgor pressure?
A
Ribosome
B
Central vacuole
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem: Ribosome, Central vacuole, Golgi apparatus, and Mitochondrion.
Recall the primary functions of each organelle: Ribosomes synthesize proteins, Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, Mitochondria generate energy through cellular respiration.
Understand that turgor pressure in plant cells is maintained by the presence of water inside a large organelle that stores it.
Recognize that the central vacuole is a large, water-filled organelle in plant cells responsible for storing water and maintaining turgor pressure.
Conclude that the organelle primarily responsible for storing water and maintaining turgor pressure in plant cells is the central vacuole.
