endoplazm

Endoplazm is a term sometimes used as a synonym for cytoplasm, the jelly-like substance that fills a cell and surrounds its organelles. This material is composed primarily of water, salts, and organic molecules. Within the endoplazm, various cellular structures perform essential functions for the cell's survival and operation. These include the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, among others. The endoplazm is the site of many metabolic reactions, such as glycolysis, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining cell shape and facilitating movement within the cell. In eukaryotic cells, the endoplazm is enclosed by the cell membrane, while in prokaryotic cells, it is also enclosed by the cell membrane. The composition and consistency of the endoplazm can vary depending on the type of cell and its specific functions. It is a dynamic environment where complex biochemical processes constantly take place. While "cytoplasm" is the more commonly used and precise scientific term, "endoplazm" may occasionally appear in older literature or in specific contexts referring to the internal cellular environment.
