Question

Stewart is investigating how plants maintain homeostasis in response to the amount of water that is available to them. As part of the investigation, he studies a plant that receives sufficient water and has straight, upright stems and firm leaves. He also studies another plant that was grown in dry soil, and that has wilted stems and leaves. When Stewart examines the cells of the plants under a microscope, which organelle will display the GREATEST difference between the two plants?

Answer 1

Answer: the central vacuole, because it stores water and provides support

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The organelle which will display the greatest difference between the two plants will be vacuole.

Step-by-step explanation:

A vacuole can be described as a membrane-bound organelle which is present in the plant, animal and fungal cells. Even some protists possess a vacuole.

The vacuole is known as the storage house of a cell as it stores excess water, minerals and even waste materials of a cell. In plants, the vacuole is big and present in the centre of a cell. It provides the plant cells with their shape.

Stewart will see that the plant which receives sufficient water will have a larger, turgid vacuole. The plant which was grown in dry soil will have a small, wilted vacuole.
