Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoplasm is an integral part of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and functions to house and maintain an optimal environment for the cellular organelles. Organelles of cytoplasm carry out complex metabolic reactions which include protein synthesis and energy production.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoplasm is the gel-like fluid inside the cell. It is the medium for chemical reaction. It provides a platform upon which other organelles can operate within the cell. All of the functions for cell expansion, growth and replication are carried out in the cytoplasm of a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Not only must all nuclear proteins, such as histones and transcription factors, be imported from the cytoplasm, but also transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA) are synthesized by transcription in the nucleus and need to be exported to the cytoplasm, where they function in translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to playing this structural role, the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movements. These include not only the movements of entire cells, but also the internal transport of organelles and other structures (such as mitotic chromosomes) through the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -cytoplasmic streaming, also called protoplasmic streaming, the movement of the fluid substance (cytoplasm) within a plant or animal cell. The motion transports nutrients, proteins, and organelles within cells.
