In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus. It comprises cytosol (the gel-like substance enclosed within the cell membrane) and the organelles – the cell's internal sub-structures. All of the contents of the cells of prokaryote organisms (such as bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus) are contained within the cytoplasm. Within the cells of eukaryote organisms the contents of the cell nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm, and are then called thenucleoplasm. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and usually colorless.[1]
It is within the cytoplasm that most cellular activities occur, such as many metabolic pathways including glycolysis, and processes such as cell division. The concentrated inner area is called the endoplasm and the outer layer is called the cell cortex or theectoplasm.
Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is a signaling activity for metabolic processes.[2]
In plants, movement of the cytoplasm around vacuoles is known as cytoplasmic streaming.
The pressure at the bottom : 19600 N/m²
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
A ground water tank has its height 2m
Required
The pressure at its bottom
Solution
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.
The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.
The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:
Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)
ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)
h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)
ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²
The pressure
C6H6 is the
most insoluble in water as it is non polar in nature. HCL is highly soluble in
water as it is an electrolyte. Kbr is also highly soluble in water. NaCl
dissolves in water very quickly. CH3CH3OH is also totally soluble in water
because of the Hydrogen bonding formation. It is a well known fact that the
hydrocarbons do not easily mix with water. C6H6 being a strong hydrocarbon does
not mix with water. So among NaCl, KBr, CH3CH3OH, HCl and C6H6, the hydrocarbon
is the least soluble in water.
