Question

What are the functions of cytoplasm

Answer 1

heya...

Cytoplasm provides mechanical support to the internal structures. It is the medium for suspension for the internal organelles of the cell. Cytoplam maintains the shape and consistency of the cell. It also stores many chemicals that are vital for life. Important metabolic reactions like the glycolysis and synthesis of proteins takes place in the cytoplasm. In plants the movements of the cytoplasm around the vacuoles, this is known as cytoplasmic streaming.

#Functions of cytoplasm are as follows:

1.Cytoplasm is the site of many biochemical reactions that are vital and crucial for maintaining life.The cytoplasm is the place where the cell expands and growth of the cell takes place.

2.The cytoplasm provides a medium for the organelles to remain suspended.The cytoskeleton of the cytoplasm provides shape to the cell and it also facilitates movement.

3.It also aids in the movement of the different cellular elements.The enzymes in the cytoplasm metabolize the macromolecules into small parts, so that it can be easily available for the other cellular organelles like mitochondria.

4.The cytoplasm is a means of transport for genetic material.It also transports the products of cellular respiration.The cytoplasm acts as a buffer and protects the genetic material of the cell and also the cellular organelles from damage caused due to movement and collision with other cells.

5.The cytoplasmic organelles are specialized structures that haves its own functions like cellular respiration, protein synthesis,etc.

6.The cytoplasmic inclusions are non-soluble molecules, they are seen floating in the cytoplasm, they act as stored fats and sugars that are ready for celllular respiration.

The cytoplasm and the proteins prevent the grouping of organelles in place due to gravity, that would impede their function.
