Question 1 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Herbicides are being used to kill weeds in a nearby field. The plants absorb the herbicides from the soil. Which organelle in the plant will most likely store the absorbed herbicide waste?

Answer
A
mitochondrion
B
vacuole
C
ribosome
D
chloroplast

Explanation

Vacuoles can store wastes and other substances in plant cells, helping keep them separate from the rest of the cell. The absorbed herbicide is a waste or harmful substance, so the vacuole is the most likely storage organelle. Ribosomes make proteins, chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, and mitochondria release energy from food.
