What is the function of the cytoplasm?
A
Stores water and mineral ions
B
It holds all the organelles in place
C
a. Controls what enters and leaves the cell
D
Supports the cell
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: -Function of cytoplasm The cytoplasm is an integral part of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and functions to house and maintain an optimal environment for the cellular organelles. Organelles of cytoplasm carry out complex metabolic reactions which include protein synthesis and energy production.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytoplasm Function To keep organelles in place. As mentioned previously, the cytoplasm keeps the membrane-bound organelles in place within the cell and prevents them from making unnecessary movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytoplasm is responsible for maintaining cell shape. Products of cellular respiration and the genetic material of the cell are present in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm acts as the medium for the movement of molecules between the organelles. Cytoplasm contains the ions that help maintain osmotic balance inside the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The structure of the cytoplasm is gel-like in consistency. It contains organelles, structures and cytoplasmic inclusions. Its function is to transport, maintain cell shape and structure, protect, store macromolecules and act as the host to metabolic processes.
