Question

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: Synthesizes proteins, not for storage.
• Vacuole: In plant cells, vacuoles store waste, water, nutrients, etc. Herbicides as waste can be stored here.
• Chloroplast: Does photosynthesis, not waste storage.
• Mitochondrion: Produces energy, not for waste storage.

Answer:

B. vacuole
