Question

Which cell organelle underwent a change that caused this plant to wilt and droop? Which cell organelle helps the plant maintain its structure during such stress? The release of water from the of the cells caused the plant to wilt and droop. The in the plant's cells help it to maintain its structure during this period of stress.

Answer 1

1. The right answer is Vacuoles.

Vacuoles is a characteristic organelle found in plants and fungi.

In addition to the important role for cell turgor (regulation of the shape of the cell by osmotic pressure), the huge vacuole that exists in most cells plays multiple roles of waste storage, sometimes reserve and most often maintenance of cell composition.

2. The right answer is cell wall.

The wall is the outermost envelope of the plant cell. It is essentially composed of carbohydrate polymers, cellulose and pectin, proteins and possibly other compounds of phenolic nature (lignin and suberin). The wall is composed of three essential parts: the middle lamella, the primary wall and the secondary wall.
