Best Answer

The cytoplasm is a gel-like substance that is 70-90% water. It has three components; the cytosol, the organelles and the inclusions.

The main part of the cytoplasm, which is found outside the organelles, is known as the cytosol. This is made up of cytoskeleton filaments, dissolved molecules, and water.

The organelles are suspended in the cytosol and include the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes.

The inclusions are small particles of insoluble substances, such as crystals of calcium oxalate.

a cell's cytoplasm contains 300mg/ml of proteins. This means the cytoplasm is nearly solid
