Question
NaCl is harmful to most crop plants. A scientist at the University of Toronto genetically modified plant so that it could be grown in dry parts of the world where the available water has a high level of NaCl. This genetically modified plant crop with the high levels of NaCl by transporting salt into its vacuoles where it accumulates to abnormally high levels. Which feature would be observed in the genetically modified plant when compared to a non-modified plant
Options
A.The leaves in the modified plant are more yellow in colour
B.The modified plant has salt crystals on the surface of its leaves
C.The cytosol (the material between the plasma membrane and the vacuole membrane, excluding the organelles) in the modified plant has a lower osmotic pressure
D.The cytosol in the modified plant has a higher osmotic pressure
