The vacuole are the membranous vesicular structures in the cells of the living organisms. The vacuoles are involved in the storage of the food materials. The presence of vacuole provides rigidity and shape to the cell with the help of turbulence. The wastes from the cells can be excreted with the help and movement of the vacuoles. The vacuoles are not responsible for locomotion. 

Contractile vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that pump excess water out of the protozoan. When the freshwater protozoan is placed in a marine environment it loses water due to exosmosis as salt concentration is high outside. The contractile vacuole disappears to prevent the loss of water from the organism because in the presence of contractile vacuoles the cell will be dehydrated. 

Vacuoles are the membrane-bound storage organelle formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles. It does not have fixed shape and varies according to the need.

A vacuole is the double membrane bound structure. The outermost covering of vacuole is called as tonoplast or vacuolar membrane. The tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane separating the vacuolar contents from the cell's cytoplasm. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

The vacuole is the membrane bound cell organelle and has the main function of osmoregulation. It also stores fluid and solid and hence, maintains rigidity of cell. In some organism vacuole involves in the excretion of wastes. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Vacuoles are the membrane-bound organelle filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including. In-plant cells, it is large and centrally located whereas, in animal cells, it is either small or absent. It is also called as storage sac as it stores water, food and waste materials.
So, the correct answer is option C.

Latex is a miliky, white emulsoin, composed with 30-40% rubber particles, 55-65% water, and small amounts of protein, sterol glycosides, resins, ash, and sugars. Natural rubber latex consists of particles of rubber hydrocarbon and nonrubber substances dispersed in an aqueous serum phase.

Mitochondria produces the energy currency, i.e., ATPs of the cell. Mitochondria take nutrients and convert them into energy molecules. This process is known as 'oxidative phosphorylation'. 
Plastids are present in plant cells, which synthesize and store important chemical compounds used by the cell. 
Golgi apparatus has the main function of modifying, sorting and packaging the proteins, which are synthesized by cells. Golgi bodies are also involved in the transport of lipid molecules across the cell.
