Question

The space within a cell which holds water is:

a) nucleus
b) cytoplasm
c) vacuole
d)chloroplast

Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt C. \ Vacuole}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze each answer choice.

A. Nucleus

• Houses the genetic material (DNA) and produces RNA

B. Cytoplasm

• Fills in space, keeps organelles in place, and chemical reactions occur here

C. Vacuole

• Stores substances, isolates toxins, helps with excretion

D. Chloroplast

• Photosynthesis occurs here

Based on the functions of each organelle, we can assume the best answer is C. Vacuole. Vacuoles store substances, so these organelles would hold water.
