Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Tonoplast is a membrane separating a vacuole from the surrounding cytoplasm in a plant cell.

It controls ionic movement in and around the cell.

Contractile vacuole is a sub-cellular structure found in unicellular algae.

It absorbs excess water and wastes from a microorganism’s cell and excretes them into the environment.

Food vaculole is a membrane-unclosed cell vacuole with a digestive function.

It contains material taken up in by the process of phagocytosis.

Air vacuole is a small cavity or space in the tissues.

It stores metabolic gases.
