Question

ariana garcia aponders practice p.3 identify functions of animal cell parts
what is the main function of vacuoles in an animal cell?
to control which substances enter and leave the cell
to direct cell activities by sending instructions to different parts of the cell
to fill the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus
to store sugar and other nutrients in the cell

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Controlling substances entering/leaving is the cell membrane's function, not vacuoles.
• Option 2: Directing cell activities with instructions is the nucleus' role (via DNA/RNA), not vacuoles.
• Option 3: The space between cell membrane and nucleus is cytoplasm, not what vacuoles do.
• Option 4: Vacuoles in animal cells store materials like sugar, nutrients, or waste. This matches their function.

Answer:

to store sugar and other nutrients in the cell
