Living cells are mainly composed of cell membrane and cytoplasm. Apart from that, plant cells have a cell wall that surrounds the cell membrane. Cytoplasm and protoplasm are two terms that describe the living part of the cells. To be specific, Cytoplasm is the cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus, which contains the cytosol, organelles, cytoskeleton, and various particles while protoplasm is the living content of a cell that is surrounded by the cell membrane. The protoplasm is composed of the nucleus, cell membrane, and the cytoplasm. Therefore, cytoplasm is a part of the protoplasm. This is why the names of these two components are often used interchangeably. However, as explained above, there exists a distinct difference between cytoplasm and protoplasm. The main difference between cytoplasm and protoplasm can be described as the presence of the nucleus; protoplasm consists of the nucleus while cytoplasm does not.
