Answer 2

Answer:

Protoplasm is the living part of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane.In some definitions, it is a general term for the cytoplasm, but for others, it also includes the nucleoplasm.

Protoplasm is composed of a mixture of small molecules such as ions, amino acids, monosaccharides and water, and macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and polysaccharides. In eukaryotes the protoplasm surrounding the cell nucleus is known as the cytoplasm and that inside the nucleus as the nucleoplasm. In prokaryotes the material inside the plasma membrane is the bacterial cytoplasm, while in Gram-negative bacteria the region outside the plasma membrane but inside the outer membrane is the periplasm.

Protoplasm was said to exist in two forms: a liquid-like sol state or a jelly-like gel state.
