Apart from the nucleus, cell organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria also contain DNA which encode enzymes necessary for their functions.

Did you also know that your mitochondrial DNA has solely come from your mom's mitochondrial DNA? That's because mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited just as the Y-chromosome is paternally inherited.

Is the cytoplasm the largest organlle?

No, the largest organelle in a cell is usually the nucleus, which contains the cell's genetic material. The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and contains other organelles.


Protoplasm or fluid in the cell but not in the nucleus?

The solution in the cell outside the nucleus is called cytoplasm. It contains various organelles, proteins, and other molecules that are essential for cellular function. The nucleus, on the other hand, contains DNA and is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope.


This is a substance that fills most of the cell outside the nucleus and contains the other organelles?

Cytoplasm


What organelle in the cytoplasm?

The cytoplasm houses all the organelles of the cell. In fact, save the nucleus, all the organelles are part of the cytoplasm. They themselves contain it. (The nucleus has its own substance - karyoplasm). Nonetheless, you could say the nucleus was IN the cytoplasm. Mitochondria, lysosomes, peroxisomes, chloroplasts, glyoxisomes and nuclei are all found in the cytoplasm --- as are all the other organelles in existence. :)


What the content of the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus?

The space between the cell membrane and the nucleus is filled with cytoplasm, which contains organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes. It also serves as a medium for various cellular processes to take place, such as protein synthesis, metabolism, and transportation of molecules within the cell.


Which is an organelle found in the cytopasm?

All organelles, including nucleus, mitochondria, ribosome, and every other organelles are found within the cytoplasm.


What is the difference between cytoplasm and protoplasm?

Protoplasm refers to the entire living substance within a cell, including the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. Cytoplasm, on the other hand, specifically refers to the jelly-like substance within the cell that surrounds the nucleus and contains organelles.


What is the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus?

The substance in which all of the organelles are suspended is called cytoplasm. It fills the space between cell wall/cell membrane. It is technically an organelle, although it does not have a specific function other than to alllow other organelles (like small vacuoles and lysosomes) to move inside the cell.


Is mitochondria found in nucleus or cytoplasm?

Mitochondria are found in the cytoplasm of a cell, and they play a crucial role in generating energy through the process of cellular respiration. They are not found in the nucleus, which is the organelle that houses the cell's genetic material.


If a cell contains a nucleus it is a prokaryote?

Actually, if a cell contains a nucleus, it is a eukaryote, not a prokaryote. Eukaryotic cells have a well-defined nucleus that houses the genetic material. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, do not contain a nucleus and their genetic material is found in the cytoplasm.


What object other than a cell contains a nucleus?

The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. Other than cells, the nucleus can also be found in syncytia, which are multi-nucleated cells formed by the fusion of multiple cells.


What organelle keeps all the other organelles in place?
