What is cytoplasm in biology?
called cytoplasm. It remain enclosed within the boundaries of the cell membrane. Water, enzyme, salts and various ions remain suspended in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm devoid of all the cell organelles is given a term called cytosol. Although the cytoplasm appears to be clear fluid, but Cytoskeleton remain suspended within the cytoplasm and provide a basic structural framework for the cell and cytoplasm both.

Cell organelles within the cell remain suspended in a jelly like substance. This jelly like thick fluid is called cytoplasm. It remain enclosed within the boundaries of the cell membrane. Water, enzyme, salts and various ions remain suspended in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm devoid of all the cell organelles is given a term called cytosol. Although the cytoplasm appears to be clear fluid, but Cytoskeleton remain suspended within the cytoplasm and provide a basic structural framework for the cell and cytoplasm both.
Cytoplasm supports metabolic activities by acting as a channel to transport the enzymes and ions required for the purpose of metabolic reaction.
