What is the cytoplasm of a muscle cell
A
Sarcoplasm
B
Sarcolemma
C
Glycosomes
D
Myoglobin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a muscle fibre. It is a water solution containing ATP and phosphagens, as well as the enzymes and intermediate and product molecules involved in many metabolic reactions. The most abundant metal in the sarcoplasm is potassium.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell membrane of a muscle cell is known as the sarcolemma and the cytoplasm is called sarcoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -As mentioned earlier, the plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma. The sarcolemma invaginates into the cytoplasm of the muscle cell (sarcoplasm). This forms membranous tubules that pass across the muscle cells. These are called transverse tubules (or ‘T tubules’).

Detailed explanation-4: -The sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of the muscle cell and is surrounded by basement membrane and endomysial connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Sarcoplasm.
