Which of the following statement is not correct for vacuoles
Contractile vacoules help in excretion
Tonoplast facilitates the transport of ions against the concentration gradient into the cytoplasm
Food vacoules are formed by engulfing the food particles
sap vacoule is bound by single membrane
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. Therefore statement 2 is wrong.
