What is cytosol?
A
Cytosal is a jelly-like mixture that consists mostly of water, along with proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and organic molecules.
B
Cytosol is a jelly-like mixture that consists mostly of water, along with proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and organic molecules.
C
Cytosol is a jelly-like mixture that consists mostly of water, along with proteins, carbohydrates, salts, minerals, and organic molecules.
D
Cytosal is a jelly-like mixture that consists mostly of water, along with proteins, carbohydrates, CO, and organic molecules.
E
Cytosal is a jelly-like mixture that consists mostly of water, along with proteins, carbohydrates, NaCl, minerals, and organic molecules.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Colourless? The cytoplasm, or cell fluid, is made up of a jelly-like substance (cytosol) and within that, the organelles. The organelles are the cell’s organs. The cytoplasm is often colourless and is surrounded by the cell membrane which keeps the contents within the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytosol contains a rich broth of macromolecules and smaller organic molecules, including glucose and other simple sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, nucleic acids, and fatty acids. Ions of sodium, potassium, calcium, and other elements are also found in the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytosol is known as the matrix of the cytoplasm. It surrounds the cell organelles in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, all the metabolic reactions occur here. Thus, we can infer that while cytosol is the fluid contained in the cell cytoplasm, cytoplasm is the entire content within the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytoplasm Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules. Some intracellular organelles, such the nucleus and mitochondria, are enclosed by membranes that separate them from the cytoplasm.
