The soluble sap of the nucleus in a plant cell is called?

Correct answer: B. Nucleoplasm

  • A. Cytoplasm
  • B. Nucleoplasm
  • C. Protoplasm
  • D. Protoplast

Explanation

Option B is correct because nucleoplasm is the soluble, gel-like substance within the nucleus, containing the chromatin and nucleolus. It is distinct from the cytoplasm, which surrounds the nucleus, and from protoplasm, which encompasses all living parts of the cell. The protoplast includes all cellular components except the cell wall, thus not specifically addressing the nucleus's contents.
