Solution

The correct option is B Calcium ions
The acid soluble pool has those compounds which have molecular weights ranging from 18 to around 800 Dalton's approximately. It has only four types of organic compounds i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids.
  • Lecithin or phospholipid is present in a cell membrane.
  • Adenosine is a nucleoside.
  • Calcium ions are inorganic molecules.
  • Glucose or carbohydrates are also present in cell membrane as polysaccharide.
  • So the correct answer is 'Calcium ions'.
