Vacuoles maintain a much higher ion concentration than the cytoplasm due to the tonoplast's ability to transport ions against their concentration gradients.
Vacuoles contain a significantly higher concentration of ions than the cytoplasm because the tonoplast facilitates transport against concentration gradients.
| Front | compare ion concentrations in the vacuoles versus in the cytoplasm |
|---|---|
| Back | vacuoles have a significantly higher concentration of ions since the TONOPLAST facilitates the transport of a number of ions AGAINST CONCENTRATION GRADIENTS |
