The soluble part of the cytoplasm or fluid that remains when all organelles are removed is known as:
Correct answer: D. Cytosol
- A. Solution
- B. Gelatin material
- C. Cytoskeleton
- D. Cytosol
Explanation
The correct answer is Cytosol. The cytosol is the aqueous component of the cytoplasm, containing dissolved ions, small molecules, and proteins, where cellular processes occur. The other options are incorrect: a 'Solution' is a general term for a mixture of solutes and solvents, 'Gelatin material' is a protein substance unrelated to cell structure, and the 'Cytoskeleton' is a network of fibers providing structural support, not a fluid component.
