What is the approximate pH of the cytosol in a cell?

What is the approximate pH of the cytosol in a cell? Correct Answer 7.2

The approximate pH of the cytosol in a cell is 7.2. It is usually higher if the cell is growing. Whereas, the pH in the lumen of the lysosome is 7.2. Most of the hydrolytic enzymes of the lysosome remain active under acidic pH, hence, it prevents the unwanted lysis of cytosolic proteins in an accidental spillover of these enzymes.
