Difficulty: Medium

Formation of Cytoplasm:

The cytoplasm is defined as the material between the plasma membrane (cell membrane) and the nuclear envelope. It is a semi-viscous and semi-transparent substance. The chemical analysis of cytoplasm reveals that it contains water in which many organic (proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) and inorganic salts are completely or partially dissolved.

The function of cytoplasm:

The cytoplasm of a cell provides space for the proper functioning of organelles and also acts as a site for various biochemical (metabolic) reactions for example Glycolysis (breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration).
