Question

if a plant cell is placed in a solution with very little water, what role does the central vacuole play in the cells response? it controls cell division it produces more proteins it digests waste it helps maintain cell shape by storing water, so the cell may shrink if water is lost

Explanation:

The central vacuole in plant cells stores water and helps maintain cell - turgor pressure and shape. When a plant cell is in a solution with little water, water may leave the cell and the cell may shrink as the vacuole loses water. It is not involved in controlling cell division, producing proteins, or digesting waste in this context.

Answer:

It helps maintain cell shape by storing water, so the cell may shrink if water is lost
