Consist of all of the contents outside of

A site where most cell activities are being
carried out.

Located inside the cell membrane
surrounding the nuclear envelope and the
cytoplasmic organelles.

A solid structure that acts as a fence to hold
together the organelles within the cytoplasm.


The cytoplasm is divided into:
 Cytosol~ the main substance of the
cytoplasm.
 90% solutes and water
Ex. Fatty Acids, sugars, amino acids,
enzymes, nucleotides, and ATP.


Organelles~ the permanent component of
the cytoplasm.
 Structure in the cell that carry out
specialized functions.
Ex. Mitochondrion, lysosomes, chloroplast
 Inclusion~ the time components of the
cytoplasm
 Are stored nutrients, secondary products,
and pigment graduals.

Ex. Water containing vacuoles.
 The function of the cytoplasm
and the organelles which sit in
it, are critical the cell's
survival!
