Question

Cell sap is a
A. Living content of the cell
B. Nonliving content of the vacuole
C. Non-living content of the protoplasm
D. Living content of the cytoplasm

Answer 1

Hint: Cell sap is a fluid present in the vacuoles means small cavities of a living cell. It contains food and waste materials, various nitrogenous compounds and inorganic salts.

Complete step by step answer:
1. Cell sap is a liquid present inside the vacuole of a plant cell which provides mechanical support and used as storage of materials.
2. Plays an important role in osmosis in plant cells.
3. The liquid found in vacuole is a dilute liquid which contains amino acids, glucose and water.
4. Cell sap is the non living content of vacuole.
5. Cell sap is a solution that fills the vacuoles of plant cells.
6. Cell sap serves as storage of materials and provides mechanical support.
7. Cell sap has sugars, amino acids, protein, minerals and metabolic wastes.
8. Vacuole is surrounded by a membrane known as tonoplast and filled with cell sap. Main role of the central vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall.
So the correct answer is B (non living content of the vacuole)

Note:
A cell is the structural and functional unit of organisms. Cells are called the building blocks of life. Cells are of two types: Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. Eukaryotes are single-celled or can be multicellular and contain a nucleus while prokaryotes (single celled) do not contain nucleus. Sap is classified into two types: Xylem sap and Phloem sap. Maple syrup is developed from maple (reduced sugar) xylem sap. Sap is a different substance produced separately with different components.
