The cytoplasm is a gel-like substance within a cell that contains various organelles, enzymes, and other molecules essential for cellular functions. It houses structures like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes, which are involved in energy production, protein synthesis, and metabolism. Additionally, the cytoplasm contains cytosol, a fluid component that facilitates the movement of substances and supports the organelles. It also stores nutrients, ions, and waste products needed for cellular processes.
What else can I help you with?
Is DNA stored in cytoplasm or chromosome?
DNA is primarily stored in the chromosome within the cell nucleus. Some DNA is also present in the mitochondria, which are located in the cytoplasm.
What is the name of the major storage compound that is found in the cytoplasm?
Starch. Not in solution, but stored in organelles, amyloplasts.
Why do you think that most DNA us stored in the nucleus of a cell?
The cytoplasm contains substances and enzymes that breakdown nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore if the DNA is stored in the nucleus, it is separated and protected from these.
Where are food and water stored in both plant and animal cells?
In plant cells, food and water are stored in the central vacuole. Animal cells do not have a central vacuole, so food and water are stored in organelles like mitochondria and the cytoplasm.
Where is the starch molecule stored?
Starch molecules are stored in plant cells, primarily in specialized organelles called plastids. In particular, starch is found in the form of granules within structures like chloroplasts, amyloplasts, and sometimes in the cytoplasm.
Where is glycogen stored inside a cell?
Glycogen is stored inside a cell in the form of granules in the cytoplasm.
How do the cells digest the food that is stored in the vacuoles?
the cells absorb it into the cytoplasm
What is in all the cells?
cytoplasm, ribosomes, stored food, plasma membrane
Is DNA stored in cytoplasm or chromosome?
DNA is primarily stored in the chromosome within the cell nucleus. Some DNA is also present in the mitochondria, which are located in the cytoplasm.
Which statement is most likely to apply to a cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm?
A cell that has DNA within its cytoplasm is stored as chromatin. DNA is stored in the nucleus which is located in the cytoplasm.
What is the name of the major storage compound that is found in the cytoplasm?
Starch. Not in solution, but stored in organelles, amyloplasts.
Where inside the cell is glycogen is stored?
Glycogen is stored inside the cell in the cytoplasm. It is primarily found in the liver and muscle cells, where it serves as a form of energy storage that can be broken down into glucose when needed for energy.
Why do you think that most DNA us stored in the nucleus of a cell?
The cytoplasm contains substances and enzymes that breakdown nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore if the DNA is stored in the nucleus, it is separated and protected from these.
What structure do all animals have in their cells?
In animal cells, we can find a cytoplasm, nucleus, sometimes we can find vacuoles and stored food.
What else does cytoplasm contains besides organelles?
The cytoplasm mostly contains organelles. However, it does contain a few other materials. For example, cytoplasm often contains waste products of the cell (that are stored within organelles). It also contains materials that will be used later such as glucose. Cytoplasm is mostly made of water. There are also lipids inside of the cytoplasm, but those are often left-over from the cell membrane.
What provides stored energy supply in fat droplets in cytoplasm?
Triglycerides provide stored energy supply in fat droplets in the cytoplasm. Triglycerides are composed of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol molecule and serve as a concentrated form of energy that can be broken down through metabolism to produce ATP for cellular processes.
Is plastid found in the nucleus?
The plastid is found in the cytoplasm, which is outside the nucleus. It is a specialized structure where starch, oils, proteins or pigments are stored.
