Cytoplasm

The video explains the structure and function of the cytoplasm in cells. It highlights the role of the cytoplasm in housing chemical reactions like glycolysis and describes its composition, including cytosol, dissolved chemicals, and organelles. Each organelle is enclosed within its own membrane, contributing to the cell's overall function.

What is the primary function of the cytoplasm in a cell?

• To fill the cell and be contained by the cell membrane

• To control cell division

• To transport oxygen

• To store genetic information

Where do most of the cell's chemical reactions occur?

• In the cell membrane

• In the cytoplasm

• In the mitochondria

• In the nucleus

Which process is an example of a chemical reaction that takes place in the cytoplasm?

• Protein synthesis

• DNA replication

• Photosynthesis

• Glycolysis

What is the cytosol primarily composed of?

• Nucleic acids

• A water-based gel

• Lipids

• Proteins

What additional components are found in the cytoplasm besides cytosol?

• Only water

• Only proteins

• Only organelles

• Dissolved chemicals, fat or carbohydrate particles, and organelles
