Question

Which are recycling centers for the cell?

Select one:
a. Central vacuole and lysosome
b. Ribosome and Golgi apparatus
c. Endoplasmic reticulum and chloroplast
d. Mitochondria and Nucleus
e. None of the above are correct

Answer 1

The recycling centers for the cell are the central vacuole in plant cells and the lysosome in animal cells, both of which are involved in breaking down waste and recycling materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling centers for the cell are the central vacuole and lysosome. In plant cells, the central vacuole takes on a role similar to that of lysosomes in animal cells. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes to break down and recycle molecular waste. The central vacuole in plant cells is multifunctional, handling not only waste degradation and storage of nutrients but also maintaining cell turgor, which is important for plant structure and growth.
