i think vacoules b/c they store the water needed to keep a plant from wilting. whenever a plant is deprived of water it wilts

A balance of water keeps the plant from wilting. The vacuole being filled with water keeps the cell plump and turgid. When the vacuole collapses due to water lost from being placed in a hypertonic environment, the cell membrane peels away from the cell wall which is called plasmolysis. That is when you see the plant wilt.

Cell walls...they help to support the structure of the plant...break them and the plant loses its structure and wilts...or at least becomes flaccid.

plant cellular hasa cellular wall, proper vacuole and chloroplasts, animal cellular has merely the plasma membrane, so duz the plant cellular, yet its have been on condition that wall, and diverse vacuoles, no longer in easy terms like the plant life, and no chloroplats, desire that facilitates
