Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and surrounds the organelles. It is primarily composed of water, salts, and organic molecules. Within the cytoplasm, various metabolic reactions and cellular processes occur, such as glycolysis and protein synthesis. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining cell shape and enabling the movement of organelles within the cell. The cytoplasm is a dynamic environment, constantly in motion, which facilitates the efficient functioning of the cell. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm is divided into two main regions: the cytosol, which is the fluid portion, and the organelles suspended within it. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, have a simpler structure where the cytoplasm contains the genetic material in a region called the nucleoid, but lacks membrane-bound organelles. The consistency of the cytoplasm can vary, being more fluid in some areas and more gel-like in others, a property influenced by the cytoskeleton. This internal environment is essential for life, providing the necessary medium for all cellular activities.
