Cytoplasm is the
A
jelly-like substance that fills plant and animal cells.
B
tiny unit of a living thing.
C
cell energy processor.
D
storage space.
Explanation: 

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 cytoplasm is not an organelle but is an essential part of the cell. It is the jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the cell. It is made up of water, salts, and proteins. It fills all the empty places within the cell and holds things in place.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoplasm of both plant and animal eukaryotic cells are composed of numerous membrane-and non-membrane bound organelles suspended in cytosol. Take a closer look at the structures of a eukaryotic cell with the study unit below.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance that fills the cell and where most chemical reactions occur. Cell membrane: controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Mitochondria: respiration reactions occur here to release energy. Chloroplasts: contains the pigment chlorophyll, where photosynthesis occurs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant and animal cells also have many common organelles, including the nucleus, cell membrane (called the plasma membrane in animals), endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and cytoplasm, as well as several others.
