Given the question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can have secretory, excretory, and storage functions. Vacuoles are usually much larger than vesicles. Many organisms will use vacuoles as storage areas and some plant cells have very large vacuoles. The large central vacuole of the plant cell is used for osmotic control (storage of water) and nutrient storage. Contractile vacuoles are found in certain protists. These vacuoles take water from the cytoplasm and excrete it from the cell to avoid bursting due to osmotic pressure. Q: These vacuoles take water from the cytoplasm and excrete it from the cell to avoid bursting due to what? Choices: - apoptotic pressure - static pressure - impervious pressure - osmotic pressure A:
The answer is:
osmotic pressure
