Question

Which structure in the cell shown in Figure 7–2 above stores materials, such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates?

Answer 1

The answer is C. These structures are vacuoles and are found in plants cell (you can tell it’s a plant cell because of the outer cell wall in the picture). Vacuoles have a variety of other functions storage of waste products, maintain turgor pressure  for plants support.

Answer 2

Structure C store materials, such as water, salts, protein and carbohydrate mainly known as vacuoles.

Further Explanation:

The vacuole is an organelle which is mainly present in animal and plant also. There is a difference in size of plant and animal vacuole. Plant cells contain vacuole in the centre of the cell which is much larger than the animal vacuole. Animal cells contain multiple vacuoles that are scattered in the cytoplasm of the cell. They contain membrane-bound sacs. The cell membranes of vacuoles are made up of phospholipids. Proteins are embedded in the cell membrane to transport small molecule. Most plant cells use vacuoles to store water. Animals don’t use vacuole as water storage they store product for endocytosis and exocytosis.

The major functions of vacuoles are:

• To store water in plants
• To provide turgor pressure
• To store material of exocytosis and endocytosis
• To store fat cells

Manly in plants, a large vacuole is present. This vacuole is enclosed by a cytoplasmic membrane which is tonoplast. This layer can easily stretch and fill with solution. They can easily fill with proton and create acidic environment inside the cell. The development of chemical gradient is helps in transporting material inside and outside of vacuole. They use proton motive force to transport molecule.
