The central vacuole stores materials, wastes, and helps give the plant structure and support.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A Plant cell contains a large vacuole which is membrane-bound organelle specialized to perform several unique functions in the plant cells like:

1. It is used by the plant to store the waste material of the cell.

2. Its major function is to store the water which provides shape and rigidity to the plant cell.

3. It maintains the rigidity as it helps maintain the turgor pressure of the plant cell.

4. It also stores the ions of the cell and thus controls the pH of the cell.

Thus, a plant vacuole serves many functions to the plant cell.

How many sulfur atoms are there in 3.90 mol of sulfur?
Ilya [14]
 <span>In a mole of anything, there are 6.023 x 10^23 units. So, in 3.9 moles of sulfur, there are 3.9 * 6.023 x 10^23 = 23 x 10^23 = 2.3 x 10^24 atoms (keeping only 2 sig figs).  Hope I help!!

In general, in what type of solvent (non-polar, moderately polar, or highly polar) are polar solutes most soluble? Explain why.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

  • In general, polar solutes are most soluble in highly polar solvents.

Explanation:

The general rule is "like dissolves like" which means that <em>polar solvents </em>dissolve polar (or ionic) <em>solutes</em> and <em>non-polar solvents</em> dissolve non-polar solutes.

In order for a solvent dissolve a solute, the strength of the interacttion (force) between the solute and the solvent units (atoms, molecules, or ions) must be stronger than the strength of the forces that keep together he particles of the pure substances (known as intermolecular forces).

Since the nature of the interactions between the units are electrostatic, the more polar is the solvent the better it will be able to attract and surround the solute particles, keeping them separated and in solution. That mechanism explains why polar solutes will be most soluble in highly polar solvents.
