When we homogenise any tissue in an acid, the acid-soluble pool represents:
Options
- ACytoplasm
- BMacromolecules
- CNucleus
- DMitochondria
Correct answer
A. Cytoplasm
Step-by-step solution
The acid soluble pool has a roughly similar composition as that of cytoplasm. Biomolecules with molecular weights in the range of 18 - 800 Daltons come in the acid- soluble fraction (with the exception of lipids). Though, the macromolecules from cytoplasm and organelles represent the acid-insoluble fraction.
