The cytoplasm is a jelly-like material that makes up the region between the cell membrane and nucleus. It consists mainly of cytosol, which is 90% water and contains dissolved molecules like sugars and proteins. Organelles like mitochondria and lysosomes are also found in the cytoplasm and carry out specialized functions. Inclusions containing stored nutrients or pigments may be present depending on the cell type. The cytoplasm is the site where most cell activities occur through its cytosol, organelles, and inclusions.
