The cytoplasm is the thick, jellylike material inside the cell membrane - not including the nucleus, in which the organelles are located. The cytoplasm helps to move materials around the cell. Cytoplasm provides support to the internal structures of the cell and helps it to maintain the shape and consistency of the cell. It also dissolves cellular waste and breaks down glucose molecules into pyruvate molecules, which are used by the mitochondria.
