Question

Which statement about vacuoles is true?

Answer 1

Vacuoles are storage organelles that are found in both animal and plant cells. They store food or any other forms of nutrients, they also store waste products so as to protect the contamination of the cell environment. These waste products are sent out of the cell via vacuoles. In plants the vacuoles are larger than in animals. The vacuole provides plant nourishment in the scarcity of water in the external environment hence, prevents the wilting of plants.
