pH of vacuolar cell sap is
A) Neutral and isotonic
B) Alkaline and hypotonic
C) Acidic and hypertonic
D) Equal to cytoplasm and isotonic
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer of this question is option C.
Explanation:
Vacuolar cell saps in the cytoplasm,are important cellular organelles.
The pH value of these cell saps are around 5.5 (which is less than 7) and that's why these are acidic in nature.
And the osmotic pressure of these saps are greater than the surrounding's cytoplasm which means these sacks are generally hypertonic.
pH of vacuolar cell sap is Acidic and hypertonic.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs that occupy about 90% of the cell volume. The pH of the vacuole is equivalent to the pH of the cell sap, i.e. the fluid that fills the vacuoles. As vacuoles perform important cellular functions, it is essential to have a suitable pH that would allow the vacuoles to successfully perform all its functions.
The main functions involve providing support to the leaves, maintaining pressure, removing harmful materials. The acidic and hypertonic fluid of the vacuoles helps to perform all its critical functions.
