So you sit down to lunch, right? You take a knife full of jelly. Its clear. There all kinds of specks floating around. And . . .it's moving. GAYAAAAH! Whats wrong with it??????

The organized complex of inorganic and organic substances external to the nuclear membrane of a cell, including the cytosol, and mitochondria (or chloroplasts, which are found in plants).

n : the protoplasm of a cell excluding the nucleus

As always, some facts about Cytoplasm.

-the cytoplasm is between the nucleus & cell membrane.

-cytoplasm is constantly moving, streaming throughout the cell.

-many of the organelles are found in the cytoplasm

-jelly-like mixture of substances that make up the consistancy of the cell.

If the cell is a house, then the cytoplasm is the interior, and basically everything inside the house would be anything floating inside the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is constantly flowing, and it looks a bit like jell-O.

Too right. But you know what else? If you compare a cell to a swimming pool, it would be the pavement.

"Elaborate... How so?"

Everything and everyone is just drifting around outside. It's the mass space.

"Isn't that more like the pool?"

That's what I thought,but it turns out that's more like the nucleus. The center of the operation.

"Oh, thanks for the pun. RIGHT."
