The soluble part of the cytoplasm is known as:
Correct answer: A. Cytosol
- A. Cytosol
- B. Polysomes
- C. Cisternae
- D. Chitin
Explanation
The correct answer is Cytosol. Cytosol is the aqueous component of the cytoplasm, where various organelles, proteins, and other cell structures float. It is the part of the cytoplasm that is soluble, containing water, soluble ions, and molecules. Polysomes are involved in protein synthesis and are not soluble themselves. Cisternae are structural components of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus and are not soluble. Chitin is a structural component of fungal cell walls and is not related to the cytoplasm.
