in a city the cytosol would be like the YMCA or the local recreation center.
Since it is linked to the pathway of glycolysis which takes place in the cytosol, the enzyme GALT would be present in the cytosol. This is where glycolysis occurs.
Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm surrounding the organelles. Cytosol does not actually contain organelles.
Cytosol is made out of salts, minerals, and organic molecules.
Cytosol is the closest name.According to the American Heritage Dictionary:* Cytoplasm-The protoplasm outside the nucleus of a cell. * Cytosol-The fluid component of cytoplasm, excluding organelles and the insoluble, usually suspended, cytoplasmic components.So cytoplasm is the fluid in the cell WITHOUT the nucleus, but INCLUDING the other organelles,while cytosol is the fluid in the cell WITHOUT the nucleus, and WITHOUT the other organelles
The main advantage of a cell having organelles is the devision of labor. If the cytosol had to do all the work it would take longer than if each little organelle did it. An example, would you prefer building a house yourself or having a crew to do it? Same thing. You also asked about the cytosol. Everything would be floating around because the cytosol can't keep everything in place, so you would have floating oxygen, glucose, h2o and other things. It would be easier if each of those things had a place to be put. So the proteins in the Golgi body and so forth. An example, would you prefer picking trash floating in a pool or trash on land?
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.
Since it is linked to the pathway of glycolysis which takes place in the cytosol, the enzyme GALT would be present in the cytosol. This is where glycolysis occurs.
what does cytosol contain?

Cytosol is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm surrounding the organelles. Cytosol does not actually contain organelles.
lysosomes
Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell. This is true for both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.NOTE: The cytoplasm refers to the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus, including the intracellular fluid and organelles. The cytosol, however, refers to just the fluid. Although cytoplasm would probably be accepted as a valid answer, cytosol is the terminology you want to use. It takes place in the mitochondria in both plants, animals and microogranisms.
The main purpose of cytosol is to provide cell expansion, growth and replication. Also, cytosol helps to contain the cytoskeleton.
It is called the cytosol
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.
A bi-layered membrane surrounds the cytosol.
