The collection of all the biomolecules present in a cell is called
Cellular pool
Molecular pool
Both a and b
None of these
The collection of all the biomolecules, ions, and compounds in the cell is called the cellular pool. The cellular pool can be divided into two phases:
(a). Aqueous Phase: It consists of chemicals scattered in water. This phase can have a true solution or a colloidal solution. The true solution is formed when the chemicals are homogenized and the particle size is 1 nm or less. A colloidal solution is formed when the chemicals are heterogeneous and the particle size is 1 - 100 nm.
(b). Non-aqueous Phase: It consists of chemicals deposited in cellular structures like a cell membrane, cell wall etc.
