Question

A cell is bounded by plasma membrane and that contains concentrated chemicals in an aqueous solution

what is the concentrated chemicals? and what is the aqueous solution?

Answer 1

Hm..is any more info provided?

Answer 2

no...

The full sentance is
- A cell is a highly organized compartment that is bounded by a thin, flexible structure called plasma membrane and that contains concentrated chemicals in an aqueous solution

Answer 3

Oh - I see what you're asking now. Essentially the cell consists of the outer membrane, inner structures known as organelles, and the cytosol - the cytosol is the aqueous solution with the various chemicals mixed within.

The cytosol is referred to as an aqueous solution simply because 70% of it is water. The various chemicals mixed inside include ions such as sodium and potassium...a more complete list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosol#Ions These ions and other chemicals function in a wide variety of roles...but essentially, they maintain homeostasis (stable internal conditions) for the cell.

Hope that helps!
