What is the function of a vesicle, sometimes called a vacuole, in an animal cell?
A. It stores substances such as food, water, and wastes.
B. It is the location where photosynthesis occurs.
C. It generates all of the energy for the cell.
D. It engulfs pathogens that have invaded the cell.
Answer (2)
The answer is A. The vacuole is like the storage space for the cell and it stores extra food and substances that the cell doesn't need at that moment.
In animal cells, vesicles function primarily to store substances and transport materials. They are membrane-bound sacs that keep nutrients, waste, and other molecules secure until needed. Therefore, the correct option is A: it stores substances such as food, water, and wastes.
