Talk:Cytosol

When ??
I am not a cell biologist and interest is only a passing one but I do know that since this is the 21st century there can't have been a 25th. (Under definition.)

Comment
Test 2 Paragraph 1, sentence 2 seems a bit inaccurate: I don't believe that protiens can 'act as ribosomes' (as it currently states).

The first section is a bit unclear: it seems to say that the cytosol doesn't include the organelles, and then to pay that the cytosol contains the organelles. I think I understand: it is a semantic difference, ie, when we say cytoplasm, we refer to the cytosol itself along with all the organelles, whereas the cytosol is just the fluid in which the organelles are embedded. But it could be clearer.ClarkFreifeld 20:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Fatty acid synthesis
It is listed as taking place in the cytosol. For what organisms? I know plants use chloroplasts and ER for that. Narayanese (talk) 20:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Corrected, thank you. I always tend to forget about plants for some reason. Tim Vickers (talk) 20:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ugh, I forgot about the apicoplast as well and I used to share an office on somebody doing their PhD on fatty acid biosynthesis in Plasmodium. Now that's annoying! Tim Vickers (talk) 20:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Haha ;). The pentose-phosphate pathway is another of those plant exceptions as far as I can find, but I see you've added a blanket "things may vary" statement which should cover that and however algae work. Narayanese (talk) 11:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Water Section
The article states "Most of the cytosol is water, which makes up about 70% of a typical cell by volume" Is the 70% referring to the cytosol taking up 70% of the cell, or that 70% of the cell is water? It isn't very clear. Unfortunately the reference provided doesn't say anything in the abstract and I can't get to the whole article. Smartse (talk) 16:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added a link to the full text, it is discussed in the section titled "Water in Intact Cells", which states "a typical cell contains 70% water", so this is the total cell, not just the cytosol. I've reworded this sentence a little, to try to make it clearer. Tim Vickers (talk) 19:06, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Osmosis mention under Ions is incorrect
The second paragraph (after the table) says: "if the ion levels were the same inside a cell as outside, water would enter constantly by osmosis - ". This is backwards -- osmosis is driven by differences in concentration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.203.18 (talk) 12:01, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Anions with most concentration?
Is it CL-, SO4-, HCO3-, HPO4-, or CHCOO-? I think HPO4- because there's a P in there. --118.96.148.144 (talk) 21:05, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Intra-organelle fluid The "cytosol" article defines cytosol as excluding fluid inside organelles. I can't find ANYWHERE what the fluid inside organelles is called. 2602:306:BC65:42B9:81A1:34FD:A843:814A (talk) 21:46, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
