NEETBotanyCell - The Unit of Life
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Concentration in vacuoles is lower than that in cytoplasm Reason: Tonoplast facilitates the transport of ions outside the vacuoles
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion are Reason are false
Correct answer
D. Both Assertion are Reason are false
Step-by-step solution
In plants, the tonoplast facilitates the transport of a number of ions and other materials against concentration gradients into the vacuole, hence their concentration is significantly higher in the vacuole than in the cytoplasm.
