Question

Vacuoles are cellular organelles that are found in all plant and fungal cells. In plant cells, vacuoles tend to store large amounts of water, so they can push outward on cell walls and help keep plants upright. In fungal cells, vacuoles often store materials that are toxic to the cell.

According to the above information, how do vacuoles help fungal cells maintain homeostasis?
A.
by storing large quantities of water
B.
by allowing the cells to get rid of waste
C.
by producing more cellular organelles
D.
by helping the cells extract energy from food
