  sap. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Cell sap refers to this fluid present in the large vacuole, or cell cavity, that occupies most of the central portion of mature plant cells.
The term sap is generally applied to all the fluid that travels through the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) of higher plants.
Sap ascends at a rate of from 1 to 4 ft (30–122 cm) per hr; in the coast redwood it rises easily to a height of almost 400 ft (120 m).

 Cells
Cell wall prevents the cell from being ruptured due to enlargement from water intake by vacuole.
Cell walls may have two or more layers and may vary in thickness depending on their role in the plant.
Growth of cell wall is poorly understood but requires loosening of wall structure which is regulated by hormones, and an increase in protein synthesis, respiration and water uptake.

 Basic about cells
A cell has two main parts: Cytoplasm which forms the main mass of the cell; and the nucleus, a small ball of protoplasm usually near the center of the cell.
It is essential in cell reproduction and it governs the functions of the rest of the cell.
Conclusion: The cell is the smallest structural unit of an organism that is capable of independent functioning, consisting of one or more nuclei, cytoplasm, and various organelles, all surrounded by a semipermeable cell membrane.

 How do non woody plants stay upright?
If plant cells are placed in a solution which has a weaker solute concentration than the cell sap, then water enters the cell vacuole by osmosis.
If however, plant cells are surrounded by a solution with a stronger solute concentration than the cell sap, then the vacuole loses water and as a result there is no hydrostatic pressure acting against the cell wall, such cells are said to be flaccid or plasmolysed.
The cell walls of collenchyma cells are rich in pectic substances; fibrils within the cell wall are arranged such that the cell wall has great plasticity, letting the cells to deform without damage and so allowing the stem to bend without breaking.

SAP-1 appears to induce apoptotic cell death by at least two distinct mechanisms: inhibition of cell survival signaling mediated by PI 3-kinase, Akt, and ILK and activation of a proapoptotic pathway possibly involving Bcl-2 family proteins such as Bim and Bmf.

 Cell structure and specialisation
Animal cells seem simpler to study than plant cells, because they are not made up of so many parts.
The cell membrane (plasma membrane) is a very thin, flexible and rather elastic layer around the outside of the cell.
Because it has a vacuole, the cytoplasm in a plant cell is usually pushed to the outside of the cell, so that it forms a thin layer inside the cell wall.

 Vacuoles
Vacuoles are seldom prominent features in animal cells and are normally confined to simple animal forms where they are observed as small contractile vacuoles.
In plant cells vacuoles may occupy 80% or more of the volume of the cell.
Vacuoles are cavities in the cytoplasm (especially in plant cells) surrounded by a cytoplasmic membrane, the tonoplast, and filled with a watery fluid called the cell sap.

Osmosis is the net movement of water from a dilute to a strong solution via a partially permeable membrane against the concentration gradient until equilibrium is reached.
The water moves into the vacuole as which is the part that contains cell sap (a salty/sugary solution).
When the cell takes in water the vacuole increases in size, which pushes the cytoplasm into the cell membrane, which in turn pushes, the cell membrane into the cell wall.
