The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cell Structure**: - Begin by recognizing that plant cells have a distinct structure, which includes a large central vacuole that occupies a significant portion of the cell's interior. 2. **Identifying the Vacuole**: - The central vacuole is an empty space within the plant cell that serves as a storage area. It is crucial for maintaining the cell's turgor pressure and storing various substances. 3. **Composition of Cell Sap**: - Cell sap is primarily composed of a dilute solution of minerals and some organic substances. This mixture is stored within the vacuole. 4. **Role of Water and Minerals**: - Water absorbed by the plant from the soil carries dissolved minerals and organic substances. These components accumulate in the vacuole, contributing to the composition of cell sap. 5. **Evaluating the Options**: - Assess the provided options: - Option A: "A dilute solution of minerals and some organic substance in the vacuole" - This is correct as it accurately describes cell sap. - Option B: "A dilute solution in the water absorbed by the plant from the soil" - This is incorrect as it does not specify the role of the vacuole. - Option C: "Exudate from the cell" - This is incorrect as exudate refers to substances secreted by cells, not stored within the vacuole. - Option D: "A solution of different organic substances dissolved in the cytoplasm" - This is incorrect as cell sap is not found in the cytoplasm but in the vacuole. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that cell sap is "a dilute solution of minerals and some organic substance in the vacuole."
