Question

Is the cytosol and intermembrane space of the nuclear envelope topologically equivalent?

Answer 1

Cytosol is also known as intercellular flud ,ie,ICF .It is seen inside the cell as liquid.It is seperated into compartments by membranes.Cystol is a complex mixture of substance dissolved in water.It is made up of majority of water.Comparing to extracellular fluid the concentrations of ions are different in cytosol.Cystosol contains proteins,aminoacids,ribosomes,sugars,messenger molecules,.The fuction of cystol includes signal transduction,structural support of cells and orgenelles ,enzyme activities and its properties allow the function of life to take place.

The intermembrane space is the space between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast. It is also reffered to as the space between the inner and outer nuclear membrane of the nuclear envelope,it is often called as perinuclear space.The nuclear envelope is also known as nuclear membrane.In eukayotic cells the nuclear envelope surronds the nucleus which encases the genetic material.Nuclear envelope is made up of two lipid bil;ayer membranes.The space between the membranes are called perinuclear membrane.The nuclear envelope has many nuclear pores that allow materials to move between cystol and nucleus.
