Question

When we homogenise any tissue in an acid the acid soluble pool represents

• A. Cytoplasm
• B. Cell membrane
• C. Nucleus
• D. Mitochondria

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cytoplasm

The acid soluble pool has a roughly similar composition as that of cytoplasm. Biomolecules with molecular weights in the range of 18 — 800 Daltons come in the acid- soluble fraction (with the exception of lipids). Though, the macromolecules from cytoplasm and organelles represent the acid-insoluble fraction.

So, the correct answer is 'Cytoplasm'.
