Which eukaryotic organelle is primarily responsible for storing food, water, or waste within the cell?
A
Ribosome
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Vacuole
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each organelle listed in the question: Ribosome, Golgi apparatus, Vacuole, and Mitochondrion.
Recall that ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and are not involved in storage functions.
Recall that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell, not for storage.
Recall that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration, and are not involved in storage.
Recognize that vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles primarily responsible for storing food, water, or waste within the cell, making them the correct answer.
