Water-soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are
Correct answer: D. Anthocyanins
- A. Xanthophylls
- B. Carotenoids
- C. Chlorophylls
- D. Anthocyanins
Explanation
Anthocyanins are the correct answer as they are water-soluble pigments located in the vacuoles of plant cells, contributing to the red, blue, or purple coloration of various plant parts. Other pigments, such as xanthophylls, carotenoids, and chlorophylls, are not water-soluble and are typically found in different cell structures like chloroplasts, rather than vacuoles.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
