ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The correct answer is- C) vacuole.

Large central Vacuole is a specialized fluid filled organelle, present only in plant cell. It is primarily involved in providing support and shape to the plant cell by maintaining the turgor pressure ( a hydrostatic force that is produced due to the cell contents against the inner side of the cell wall). The central vacuole stores water ( that flows through osmosis) and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Turgor pressure provides mechanical support and helps in the growth and development of plant.

The phospholipid bilayer is the layer which forms the outer membrane of the cell.

The phospholipid layer is amphipathic as it contains both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions.

The phospholipid is composed of the glycerol attached to phosphate groups which form head or hydrophilic region and the 3 fatty acid tails which form the hydrophobic portion.

The head or hydrophilic portion is arranged in the layer facing the outer external portions and the inside of the cytoplasm as the lipid layer exist in the bilayer.

Thus, Option-E is correct.

soil. Swamps, marshes, and other wetland areas help to control flooding because they naturally hold water. Wetland regeneration
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Restoring farmlands to wetlands consists of a lot of pro and cons. Firstly, they should consider that wetlands will greatly filter carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gases. Wetlands restoration would probably affect the lives of the nearby human residents negatively. This is due to the fact that wetlands provides an optimal habitat to wild animals especially dangerous carnivores like alligators. The regeneration project will expand the habitats of animals, and clean the water system but it will remove the nutrients from the soil.
