Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The main components of the cytoplasm are cytosol (a gel-like substance), the organelles (the cell’s internal sub-structures), and various cytoplasmic inclusions. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and is usually colorless.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoplasm is a thick, usually colorless solution that fi lls each cell and is enclos ed by the cell membrane. Cytoplasm presses against the cell membrane, filling out the cell and giving it its shape. Sometimes cytoplasm acts like a watery solution and sometimes it takes on a more gel-like consistency.
