what is the difference between cytoplasm, protoplasm and endoplasm?

Answer 1

Cytoplasm - protoplasm, excluding nucleus.
Protoplasm - living matter comprizing cell-body.
Endoplasm - central part of protoplasm containing nucleus or nuclei and in which the major metabolic processes take place.
Cytoplasm is a jelly-like material that fills cells. The cytoplasm consists of cytosol and the cellular organelles, except the cell nucleus. The cytosol is made up of water, salts, organic molecules and many enzymes that catalyze reactions. The cytoplasm plays an important role in a cell, serving as a "molecular soup" in which the organelles are suspended and held together by a fatty membrane. It is found within the plasma membrane of a cell and surrounds the nuclear envelope and the cytoplasmic organelles.

In biology, protoplasm is the living substance inside the cell. At the simplest level, it is divisible into cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. It is also sometimes termed "bioplasm", (Beale: meaning the essential substance of living matter within a cell) and is distinct from non-living cell components lumped under "ergastic substances". Ergastic substances can occur in the protoplasm. In many plant cells most of the volume of the cell is not occupied by protoplasm, but by "tonoplast": a large water filled vacuole enclosed by a membrane.
The idea that protoplasm is divisible into a ground substance called "cytoplasm" and a structural body called the Cell nucleus, reflects the more primitive knowledge of cell structure that preceded the development of powerful microscope of organic and inorganic substances, mysteriously directed by the nucleus and controlled by the cell membrane. Today, it is known that the cytoplasm is structurally very complex, and that protoplasm is living because of the complexity of the "cytoplasmic organelles" and their careful separation and orchestration of multiple chemical processes.
Protoplasm exists in three forms: solid state, liquid state and sometimes a combined solid and liquid state.
Whether the protoplasm is in either of the three forms depends upon the physiological state of the cell.
The endoplasm is the inner, granular, more fluid portion of the cytoplasm of a cell. The endoplasm causes the amoeba to change its shape.

Answer 2

Define Endoplasm

Answer 3

endoplasm - the inner portion of the cytoplasm of a cell
cytoplasm - the protoplasm of a cell excluding the nucleus

Answer 4

cytoplasm=the protoplasm of a cell excluding the nucleus
protoplasm=the living substance of a cell (including cytoplasm and nucleus)
endoplasm= the inner portion of the cytoplasm of a cell

Answer 5

1. Protoplasm is the living substance inside the cell.

2. Cytoplasm is a jelly-like material that fills cells

3. Endoplsm is a central, less viscous portion of the cytoplasm that is distinguishable in certain cells, especially motile cells.

Answer 6

Endoplasm

Answer 7

Cytoplasm- All the protoplasm of a cell excluding the nucleus. It is usually a transparent gel or viscous fluid with inclusions of various sizes ranging from microscopically visible plastids and Golgi apparatus to invisible ribosomes. Differentiated externally as a plasma-membrane.
Protoplasm- Substance within and including plasma-membrane of a cell or protoplast but usually taken to exclude large vacuoles, or masses of secretion, or ingested material. In animals and plants differentiated into nucleus and cytoplasm.
Endoplasm-(Bot.) (Endoplast) Cytoplasm internal to plasma membrane (Zool).Internal cytoplasm of many cells , eg., ova, Protozoa, which differs from ectoplasm, usually in greater fluidity (in which case it may be called plasmasol) and in presence of many granules and organelles.

Answer 8

cytoplasm is the ground material in the cell which provides site for metabolic activities,protoplasm deals with photosyntehsis and i dont know about endoplasm but i know about endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 9

there's a lota diffrence!
cytoplasam:it is the part between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envolpe. it is made of matrix,organells and non living inclisions.
protoplasm:transperent,semifluid granular subsantce that loses transparency on heating;it respond to stumilie like pin pricks etc.
endoplasm:????????????????????????????????
