A.
To describe: The definition and functions of cytosol.
Introduction: The structural and functional unit of life is the cell. The eukaryotic cell consists of cell organelles and each cell organelles has its unique function. The cell organelles in the cell include cytoplasm, cytosol, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast, lysosome, chromosome, Golgi complex, peroxisome, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, and cytoskeleton.
