Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the organelles listed in the problem and recall their primary functions in plant cells.
Understand that the mitochondrion is mainly responsible for energy production through cellular respiration, not storage.
Recall that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids, not storage of water or nutrients.
Recognize that chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy, not primarily for storage.
Conclude that the central vacuole is the organelle that primarily stores water, nutrients (food), and waste products in plant cells.
