Citogélek

Citogélek is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "cytogel" in English. It refers to a type of cellular substance, specifically a colloidal suspension within a cell. This gel-like material, also known as the cytosol, is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds its organelles. It is primarily composed of water, salts, and organic molecules.

The cytosol plays a crucial role in cellular function. It serves as the medium for many biochemical reactions, including glycolysis, a fundamental metabolic pathway. Furthermore, it provides structural support to the cell and facilitates the transport of molecules within it. The consistency of the cytosol can vary, shifting between a more liquid sol state and a more solid gel state depending on cellular conditions and the presence of specific proteins. This dynamic nature allows cells to adapt and respond to their environment. Understanding citogélek, or cytosol, is fundamental to comprehending the intricate workings of living cells.
