The cytoplasm is a viscous jelly-like substance present within the cell membrane.
Some of the cell organelles found within the cytoplasm are:-
GOLGI APPARATUS (or Golgi body)
It is made of several membrane-bound,fluid-filled, sacs which are stacked together.
It is responsible for the packaging and transporting of fats and proteins.
It also helps in the formation of lysosomes.
VACUOLE
It stores excess water, useful minerals, pigments and many other substances.
Large vacuoles are present in plant cells but smaller and more numerous vacuoles are present in animal cells.
LYSOSOMES
Lysosomes contain chemical substances called enzymes that are capable of digesting cells.
In times of emergency, lysosomes burst and destroy the cells.
Hence, they are also called suicide bags of the cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It is involved in the synthesis, storage and transport of cell products.
RIBOSOMES
They are the primary sites for protein synthesis.
Ribosomes are sometimes found attached to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.
such a type of endoplasmic reticulum(ER) is called Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
MITOCHONDRIA
They act as sites of energy production and are, therefore, called the powerhouses of the cell.
PLASTIDS
Plastids are present only in plant cells.
Depending on the pigment colour, plastids are of three kinds:
Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which helps plants in making food.
Chromoplasts contain non-green pigments that give colour to flowers and fruits.
Leucoplasts are colourless and store food in the form of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
CENTROSOMES
These are present only in animal cells.
Centrosomes initiate and regulate cell division.
