a(n) ______ is a specialized cellular part with a specific function which is vital to the operation of plant tissues.
○ cellulose
○ vacuole
○ organelle
○ membrane

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Cellulose: A carbohydrate in plant cell walls, not a cellular part with a function. Eliminate.
• Vacuole: A type of organelle, but the term "organelle" is a broader category for specialized cellular parts.
• Organelle: Defined as a specialized cellular part with a specific function, matching the description.
• Membrane: A structure (like cell membrane), but not the general term for specialized cellular parts with functions.

Answer:

C. Organelle
