Question

You went on vacation and forgot to water your plants. when you returned, the leaves were soft and wilted. name the organelle that became dehydrated

Answer 1

The vacuole of the plant cells is what is dehydrated. The vacuole is responsible for pushing out of the cell and make the cell wall rigid. This cellular pressure is what makes the cell walls so stable. If the vacuole no longer has water to provide the pressure then plants become wilted.
