Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills up the spaces inside cells. It cushions and protects the organelles, and also gives cells their shape. The cytoplasm is composed of water, salts, and other molecules required for cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoplasm contains cytosol which is part of what makes the cytoplasm “gel-like". This protects the organelles and genetic material from damage by absorbing the shock of bumping into another cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytoplasm Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules. Some intracellular organelles, such the nucleus and mitochondria, are enclosed by membranes that separate them from the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -The outer lining of a eukaryotic cell is called the plasma membrane. This membrane serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment and is made mostly from a double layer of proteins and lipids, fat-like molecules.
