quiz complete
herbicides are being used to kill weeds in a nearby field. the plants absorb the herbicides from the soil. which organelle in the plant will most likely store the absorbed herbicide waste?
ribosome
vacuole
chloroplast
mitochondrion

Explanation:

• Ribosome: It is involved in protein synthesis.
• Vacuole: In plant cells, vacuoles store water, nutrients, and waste products.
• Chloroplast: It is the site of photosynthesis.
• Mitochondrion: It is the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP.

Since the question is about storing waste (herbicide waste in this case), the vacuole is the organelle that fits this function.

Answer:

vacuole
