Question
State two functions of cell sap.
Answer
Cell sap refers to the fluid found within the central vacuole of plant cells, which is enclosed by the tonoplast (a membrane surrounding the vacuole).
2. Cell sap helps regulate osmotic pressure within the cell. By controlling the concentration of solutes (like sugars and ions) within the vacuole, the plant can regulate the movement of water in and out of the cell.
3. Cell sap in plants can store waste products and harmful substances in the vacuole to keep them isolated from the rest of the cell.
