substance made of mostly salt and
water that maintains a shape for the cell
so cell parts can move freely within the
cell membrane. Without cytoplasm, the
cell parts would not be able to move
easily and the cell would have no shape.
Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes cells. In
eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm
includes all of the material inside the

the organelles in eukaryotic cells,
such as the nucleus, endoplasmic

located in the cytoplasm.
