Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle is the “jelly-like” substance that keeps all other organelles in place? It also helps keep the shape of the cell.
A
cytoplasm
B
cell membrane
C
ribosomes
D
cell wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The jelly like substance in which the cell organelles are embedded is called centriole / cytoplasm .

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -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-5: -All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm. The portion of the cytoplasm that is not contained in the organelles is called the cytosol. Although cytoplasm may appear to have no form or structure, it is actually highly organized.
