Solution

Cytoplasm:

  1. Cytoplasm is a viscous liquid that fills each cell and is surrounded by the cell membrane.
  2. The majority of it is made up of water, minerals, and proteins.
  3. The vacuoles are the blank or empty areas in the cytoplasm.
  4. The solution that fills a vacuole is known as the cell sap.

Some functions of vacuoles include:

  1. Storage of salts, minerals, pigments, lipids and proteins within the cell

  3. Helps in maintaining the homeostasis
  4. Regulation of pH and ionic concentration.
