Question

1. how are vacuoles like storage bins? *

they hold all of the organelles within the cell
they store the energy until it is needed
they store food and wastes
they make and store proteins

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "they hold all of the organelles within the cell": The cytoplasm or cytoskeleton holds organelles, not vacuoles. Eliminate.
• "they store the energy until it is needed": Mitochondria (for energy in a cell) or structures like fat cells store energy, vacuoles don't primarily store energy. Eliminate.
• "they store food and wastes": Vacuoles in cells (especially plant cells) store nutrients (food - like substances) and waste products, similar to how storage bins hold items. This matches.
• "they make and store proteins": Ribosomes make proteins, and vacuoles don't make proteins. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. they store food and wastes (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option being C; if the original labels are different, adjust accordingly, but based on the order, the correct option is the one stating "they store food and wastes")
