C
Central vacuole
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 chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Understand that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
Recognize that the central vacuole in plant cells stores water, dissolved nutrients (including ions), and helps maintain turgor pressure by exerting outward pressure on the cell wall.
