Question

what is the main job of the central vacuole in a plant cell? (2 points)
it stores enzymes
it stores pigments
it stores water
it stores ribosomes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The central vacuole in a plant cell is a large organelle. One of its primary functions is to store water. This helps maintain turgor pressure in the plant cell, which is crucial for the plant's structure (keeping it upright). Enzymes are often associated with lysosomes (in animal cells) or other organelles involved in metabolism. Pigments like chlorophyll are mainly in chloroplasts (for photosynthesis - a different organelle). Ribosomes are either free - floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and are involved in protein synthesis.

Answer:

It stores water
