The cytoplasm is a gel like substance that is composed mainly with water. Consist of all of the contents outside of the nucleus and enclosed within the cell membrane of a cell.nucleuscell membrane A site where most cell activities are being carried out.
Located inside the cell membrane surrounding the nuclear envelope and the cytoplasmic organelles. A solid structure that acts as a fence to hold together the organelles within the cytoplasm.
The cytoplasm is divided into: Cytosol~ the main substance of the cytoplasm. 90% solutes and water Ex. Fatty Acids, sugars, amino acids, enzymes, nucleotides, and ATP.
Organelles~ the permanent component of the cytoplasm. Structure in the cell that carry out specialized functions. Ex. Mitochondrion, lysosomes, chloroplast
Inclusion~ the time components of the cytoplasm Are stored nutrients, secondary products, and pigment graduals. Ex. Water containing vacuoles.
The function of the cytoplasm and the organelles which sit in it, are critical the cell's survival!
