Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the components inside a cell: The cell membrane encloses all the internal contents of the cell, including the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
Define 'cytoplasm': It refers to the jelly-like substance outside the nucleus but inside the cell membrane, containing organelles except the nucleus.
Define 'nucleoplasm': It is the substance inside the nucleus, containing chromatin and the nucleolus.
Define 'extracellular matrix': This is the network of molecules outside the cell, providing structural and biochemical support, so it is outside the cell membrane.
Define 'protoplasm': This term encompasses everything inside the cell membrane, including both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, making it the correct answer.
