Question

what is the function of cytoplasm

Answer 1

Cytoplasm is a gelatinous, semi-transparent fluid that fills most cells. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus that is kept separate from the cytoplasm by a double membrane layer. The cytoplasm has three major elements; the cytosol, organelles and inclusions. The cytosol is the gooey, semi-transparent fluid in which the other cytoplasmic elements are suspended. Cytosol makes up about 80% of the cell and is composed of water, salts, organic molecules, and enzymes that are necessary for the cell to catalyze reactions. The organelles are the metabolic machinery of the cell and are like little organs themselves. The major organelles that are suspended in the cytosol consists of the mitochondria, proteins, ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and the cytoskeleton. The inclusions are chemical substances that store nutrients, secretory products and pigment granules.

Functions:
The cytoplasm is the site where most cellular activities are done. All the functions for cell expansion, growth and replication are carried out in the cytoplasm of the cell.The cytosol has enzymes that take molecules and break them down , so that the individual organelles can use them as they need to. The cytosol also contains the cytoskeleton which gives the cell its shape and can help in the movement of the cell.
Cell Structure(cytoplasm)

In eukaryotic cells, there are large numbers of organelles which perform specific tasks. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus that is kept separate from the cytoplasm by a double membrane structure. The cytoplasm contains the rest of the organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria, each necessary for the cell's reproduction and survival.

The area of the cytoplasm outside of the individual organelles is called the cytosol. The cytosol is the largest structure in the cell. It composes 54% of the cells total volume. The cytosol contains thousands of enzymes that are responsible for the catalyzation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis and for the biosynthesis of sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids. The cytosol takes molecules and breaks them down, so that the individual organelles can use them. For example, in order for respiration to occur, glucose is ingested and broken down into pyruvate in the cytosol, for use in the mitochondria.

The cytosol also contains a skeletal structure, called the cytoskeleton. This structure gives the cell its shape and allows it to organize many of the chemical reactions that occur in the cytoplasm. Additionally, the cytoskeleton can aid in the movement of the cell.---Chelsuz (yahoo answers)
