What does the cytoplasm do?
A
Transports Organelles
B
Garbage disposal for unused cells
C
Protects cell from outside
D
Produces energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm helps to keep them in place. It is also the site of most metabolic activities in the cell, and it allows materials to pass easily throughout the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytoplasm provides shape to the cell. It fills up the cells thus enabling the organelles to remain in their position. The cells, without cytoplasm, would deflate and substances will not permeate easily from one to the other organelle. A part of the cytoplasm, the cytosol has no organelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through the process of cytoplasmic streaming, the cytoplasm assists with the transport of organelles and cytoplasmic inclusions all over the cell. The cytoplasm also transports waste material out of the cell. If there was no cytoplasm in the cell, the cell would not be able to function.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the transport network for molecules targeted for certain modifications and specific destinations, as compared to molecules that will float freely in the cytoplasm.
