Which membrane-enclosed organelle primarily functions as a storage compartment for water, ions, nutrients, and waste products in eukaryotic cells?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Mitochondrion
C
Vacuole
D
Ribosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem and recall their primary functions in eukaryotic 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 mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
Understand that ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, translating mRNA into polypeptide chains.
Recognize that the vacuole is a membrane-enclosed organelle that primarily functions as a storage compartment for water, ions, nutrients, and waste products, especially prominent in plant cells.
