Question

What does the cytoplasm do in the human body? where did scientists first get the word organelles?

Answer 1

The cytoplasm functions to support and suspend organelles and cellular molecules. Many cellular processes also occur in the cytoplasm.

Some of these processes include protein synthesis, the first stage of cellular respiration known as glycolysis, mitosis, and meiosis. In addition, the cytoplasm helps to move materials, such as hormones, around the cell and also dissolves cellular waste.
