In plant cells, by-products of the metabolic pathways are stored in _____________(a) vacuole(b) mitochondrion(c) chloroplast(d) nucleusI had been asked this question in semester exam.I need to ask this question from Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems in division Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems of Cell Biology

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) vacuole

To EXPLAIN I would say: Vacuoles STORE MANY TOXIC compounds of the cell including by-products of metabolic pathways. Unlike animal cells, plant cells isolate the toxic by-products (by storing them in the vacuole) from the REST of the cell rather than discharging them.
