The membrane of vacuole is called:
Correct answer: A. Tonoplast
- A. Tonoplast
- B. Plasma membrane
- C. Epidermis
- D. Both Options B and C are correct
Explanation
The correct answer is option a) Tonoplast. The tonoplast is the specialized membrane surrounding the vacuole in plant cells, distinguishing it from other cellular membranes. It plays a vital role in regulating the transport of substances between the vacuole and the cytoplasm, helping maintain osmotic balance and store nutrients or waste products.Option b) Plasma membrane refers to the general outer boundary of the cell, not specific to the vacuole. Option c) Epidermis is a tissue type, not a cell membrane. Option d) Both Options B and C are correct is incorrect because neither option B nor C is the correct term for the vacuole's membrane.
