  • Cytoplasm & Cytosol: Understanding the Fluid Part of a Cell
    The liquid portion of a cell is called cytoplasm.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Cytoplasm: This is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the cell's organelles. It's mostly water, but also contains dissolved nutrients, salts, and proteins.

    * Cytosol: This is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, excluding the organelles.

    So, while "cytoplasm" is the more common term, "cytosol" specifically refers to the liquid part.
