Assertion (A): Plant cells possess a large central vacuole. Reason (R): The vacuole stores waste products and maintains turgor pressure.
A. A is true, but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
C. A is false, but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Mature plant cells contain a large central vacuole that stores water, ions, pigments, and waste products, and is critical for maintaining turgor pressure against the cell wall, providing structural support. The vacuole can occupy up to 90% of cell volume. The reason correctly explains the function of the vacuole, so both statements are true and linked.
