Detailed explanation-1: -Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance present between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. All the membrane bound cell organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, etc are present in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoplasm, or cell fluid, is made up of a jelly-like substance (cytosol) and within that, the organelles. The organelles are the cell’s organs. The cytoplasm is often colourless and is surrounded by the cell membrane which keeps the contents within the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cell consists of three parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and, between the two, the cytoplasm. Within the cytoplasm lie intricate arrangements of fine fibers and hundreds or even thousands of miniscule but distinct structures called organelles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete solution: The term ‘Cytoplasm’ was given by German scientist Eduard Strasburger for the jelly-like part of a cell between the nucleus and cell membrane in 1882. The cytoplasm is divided into two parts, namely, Cytosol and Protoplasm.
