Question

difference between cytoplasm and protoplasam

Answer 1

A cytoplasm gets defined as the protoplasm or all the material that exists within the cell except for the nucleus. On the other hand, a protoplasm gets defined as the total colorless material that exists within the cell including the cytoplasm, nucleus, and other parts.

Answer 2

The difference between protoplasm and cytoplasm is very minor. Protoplasm is the content of the cell including the cell membrane, cytoplasm and the cell nucleus whereas cytoplasm is the jelly like substance surrounding the nucleus within the cell membrane. The cytoplasm contains the cell organelles like mitochondria, ribosomes etc. In prokaryotes, where there is no well-defined nucleus, the cytoplasm also acts as the nucleoplasm and contains chromatin.
