Cytoplasm : Cytoplasm is a thick jelly like solution that is filled inside the cell.

All the cell organelles are suspended inside it.

In eukaryotes, who have their prominent nucleus, has their own cytoplasm named as nucleoplasm.

The content between the nuclear membrane and cell membrane is known as cytoplasm in a eukaryotic cell. Since, in prokaryotic cells, nucleus doesn't has any membrane, the cytoplasm covers the whole cell body.

Functions of cytoplasm :

1) It gives a definite shape to cell.

2) It keeps Organelles in their position.

3) It contains enzyme which perform various function like breaking of waste and metabolic activities.
