Question

imagine that a plant cell has a damaged large central vacuole that is not functioning. which statement best describes how this damage will affect the cells ability to function in photosynthesis? the cell will no longer allow water molecules into the cell and the mitochondria will lack raw materials. the cell will no longer be able to perform photosynthesis and the mitochondria will lack raw materials. the cell will no longer be able to maintain turgor pressure and the chloroplast will lack raw materials. the cell will no longer be able to store water molecules, maintain turgor pressure, and the chloroplast will lack raw materials.

Explanation:

The large central vacuole in plant cells stores water, helps maintain turgor pressure, and can store some raw - materials. Chloroplasts need water and other raw materials for photosynthesis. A damaged vacuole can't store water well, leading to loss of turgor pressure and shortage of raw materials for chloroplasts.

Answer:

The cell will no longer be able to store water molecules, maintain turgor pressure, and the chloroplast will lack raw materials.
