Question

Write a short note on cytoplasm

Answer 1

Answer:

The part between nuclear membrane and cell membrane is called cytoplasm.

In some cells like Amoeba, the cytoplasm has two distinct part one is outer layer ectoplasm and other is another granular Endoplasm in most cells.

Under light microscope cytoplasm appear as semi fluid colloid that fills the cell the cytoplasm exhibit streaming movement around the inner surface of the cell this movement is called cyclosis Cytoplasm consists of several types of organelles, occupying as much as half of the volume of the cell and a fluid matrix, the cytosol in which organelle reside

Answer 2

The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It is made up of mostly water and salt. Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts. Cytoplasm has various functions in the cell.

Most of the important activities of the cell occur in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm contains molecules such as enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity.

Cytoplasm is responsible for giving a cell its shape. It helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place. Without cytoplasm, the cell would be deflated and materials would not be able to pass easily from one organelle to another.

Cytosol is the part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles. Instead, cytosol is confined by the boundaries of a matrix which fills the part of the cell that does not contain organelles.
