In the context of eukaryotic cell architecture, what is the jelly-like substance inside a cell (outside the nucleus) that suspends organelles and is the site of many metabolic reactions?
A
Nucleoplasm
B
Plasma membrane
C
Extracellular matrix
D
Cytoplasm
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking about the jelly-like substance inside a eukaryotic cell, specifically outside the nucleus, that suspends organelles and is the site of many metabolic reactions.
Recall the main components inside a eukaryotic cell: the nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, nucleoplasm, and extracellular matrix.
Identify that the nucleoplasm is the substance inside the nucleus, so it cannot be the jelly-like substance outside the nucleus.
Recognize that the plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell, not the internal jelly-like substance.
Know that the extracellular matrix is outside the cell, providing structural support, so the jelly-like substance inside the cell that suspends organelles and hosts metabolic reactions is the cytoplasm.
