WHAT IS CYTOPLASM?
➪ WHEN WE LOOK AT THE TEMPORARY MOUNTS OF ONION PEEL AS WELL AS HUMAN CHEEK CELLS, WE CAN SEE A LARGE REGION OF EACH CELL ENCLOSED BY THE CELL MEMBRANE, THIS REGION TAKES UP VERY LITTLE STAIN. IT IS CALLED THE CYTOPLASM.
◆ THE CYTOPLASM IS THE FLUID CONTENT INSIDE THE PLASMA MEMBRANE. IT ALSO CONTAINS MANY SPECIALIZED CELL ORGANELLES. EACH OF THESE ORGANELLES PERFORMS A SPECIFIC FUNCTION FOR THE CELL.
FUNCTION OF CYTOPLASM
➪ CELLS ORGANELLES ARE ENCLOSED BY MEMBRANE. IN PROKARYOTES, BESIDE THE ABSENCE OF A DEFINED NUCLEAR REGION, THE MEMBRANE - BOUND CELL ORGANELLES ARE ALSO ABSENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE EUKARYOTIC CELLS HAVE NUCLEAR MEMBRANE AS WELL AS MEMBRANE - ENCLOSED ORGANELLES.
◆ THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MEMBRANES CAN BE ILLUSTRATED WITH THE EXAMPLES OF VIRUSES. VIRUSES LACK ANY MEMBRANE AND HENCE DO NOT SHOW CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE UNTIL THEY ENTER A LIVING BODY AND USE IT'S CELL MACHINERY TO MULTIPLY.
