The main purpose of cytosol is to provide cell expansion, growth and replication. Also, cytosol helps to contain the cytoskeleton.
No, cytosol and cytoplasm are not the same. Cytosol is the liquid component of the cytoplasm, which also includes organelles and other structures within a cell.
No, an organelle is defined as a structure in a cell suspended in the cytosol.
No, cytosol is a component of cytoplasm. Cytoplasm includes all the contents of a cell outside of the nucleus, while cytosol specifically refers to the liquid portion of the cytoplasm.
Free ribosomes.
The liquid portion of the cytoplasm is called cytosol. It is a gel-like substance where organelles are suspended and where many cellular activities take place.
because it is unstable without it
Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm surrounding the organelles. Cytosol does not actually contain organelles.
Cytosol!!!
Cytosol is the liquid "goo" inside a cell, and I can't think of any (eukaryotic or prokaryotic) that don't have cytosol. So yes, eukaryotic cells do contain cytosol.
Cytosol is cytosol, as mitochondria are mitochondria. It would be confusing in Science if there were synonyms and so Scientists try to use universal names for things. Cytosol is part of the cytoplasm, but this cannot be used as a synonym as cytoplasm contains all cell organelles as well as cytosol.
A bi-layered membrane surrounds the cytosol.
RNA viruses replicate in the cytosol.
No, cytosol and cytoplasm are not the same. Cytosol is the liquid component of the cytoplasm, which also includes organelles and other structures within a cell.
Yes they do. Cytosol is the matrix within which all the cellular mechanisms occur. There is no organism as such that does not have the cytosol. Viruses obviously do not have a cytosol because they are not organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites which can multiply only within a particular host.
No, an organelle is defined as a structure in a cell suspended in the cytosol.
The cytosol is like the water in a sea. It holds the organelles and other parts of the cell.
cytosol. (cytosol + organelles = cytoplasm)
