Which of the following correctly describes the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells?
A
A rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell
B
A double membrane structure that houses the cell's genetic material
C
The site of protein synthesis and lipid metabolism
D
A gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains organelles
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells: The cytoplasm is the part of the cell that is enclosed within the cell membrane, excluding the nucleus. It is a gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains various organelles.
Differentiate between the options provided: Analyze each option to determine which one accurately describes the cytoplasm.
Option 1: 'A rigid structure that provides support and protection to the cell' - This describes the cell wall, not the cytoplasm.
Option 2: 'A double membrane structure that houses the cell's genetic material' - This describes the nucleus, not the cytoplasm.
Option 3: 'The site of protein synthesis and lipid metabolism' - While these processes occur in the cytoplasm, this description is more specific to the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes. The correct description of the cytoplasm is 'A gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains organelles.'
