Tonoplast is important for:
Correct answer: B. Transporting ions against concentration gradients
- A. Oxidative phosphorylation
- B. Transporting ions against concentration gradients
- C. Providing rigidity to the structure
- D. Cell division
Explanation
Tonoplast is the membrane surrounding the vacoule. The vacuole helps in maintaining cell volume and cell turgor; the regulation of cytoplasmic ions and pH. The tonoplast helps in the transpot of ion and minerals against the concentration gradient into the vacuole utilizing energy in the form of ATP.
