Which of the following statement is correct regarding vacuole?
It is membrane-bound and contains storage proteins and lipids.
It is membrane-bound and contains water and excretory substances.
It lacks membrane and contains air.
It lacks membrane and contains water and excretory substances.
Correct Answer :
B. It is membrane-bound and contains water and excretory substances.
Vacuole is a membrane bound organelle, found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution, vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
