Explanation: 

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: -Cytoplasm provides the medium for enzymatic reactions and metabolic processes of the cell. Glycolysis, translation of mRNA, and other important processes take place in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm also protects and anchor the cellular organelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Most of the chemical reactions in a cell take place in the cytoplasm. It is a jelly-like substance enclosed by the cell membrane. It consists of all the organelles that carry out speciic functions and all the chemical reactions take place here in cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The rates of chemical reactions in the cytoplasm are controlled by enzymes.
