• Protoplasmic is mixture of water, amino acids, proteins, small molecules of ions macro molecules such as nucleic acids etc.

• All generally used to refer to the living parts of a cell structure of protoplasm is the structure of the cell.
• The protoplasm is the living part of a cell which is surrounded by a plasma membrane.
