Cytoplasm is a jelly like substance which fills the cells in case of animal cell but not in a plant cell as a vacuole fills the plant cell. The cytoplasm consists of a cell membrane which is partially permeable i.e allows some materials to pass through but not others. It has a nucleus which contains heredity structures called the chromosomes. The cytoplasm consists of vacuoles which are small and numerous in animal cells and there is one large vacuole in plant cells. It also contains mitochondrion which stores energy from respiration in the form of ATP's......
Thats All....for more complex details use an encyclopedia

-The term cytoplasm refers to everything between the cell membrane and the nuclear envelope. It consists of primarily of water. It also contains various organelles as well as salts, dissolved gasses and nutrients.
-The cytoplasm is in all cells, where metabolic reactions occur
-Cytoplasm has three main functions, energy, storage, and manufacturing. It contains other organelles which store and produce energy.
-The cytoplasm is also the storage place within the cell.

The cytoplasm is the jelly like fluid within the cell that holds all the organelles (cell's components). Since it is a permeable fluid, components within the cell are able to move around and communicate.

This is the gooey space 1) outside the nucleus but 2)inside the cell. It's where lots of material flow in and out. Water is a key component here, and facilitates transport through diffusion, which is a long process to explain; you can just cite it as diffusion for your project.
It is also where translation (third step of protein synthesis) takes place, and where the tRNA reside until they lock onto the appropriate mRNA (again, you can just cite this one sentence to describe the process for ur project).

Cytoplasm is the liquis component in a cell. It acts like a solvent to transport gases and other compounds into and out of the cell, and between various parts of a cell.

cytoplasm is stuff inside of the cell that holds everythign in its right spot. its like... think of it as a b owl of jello and inside the jello there are some like... chocolate chips floating around in it. the jello holds them in place.
it also aids in transport
hah hope this helps
gunna go eat some jello now

It is the chemical mixture contained within the membrane of a cell. It contains all the organelles and 'foodstuffs' and it is where all of the cells chemical reactions take place.

The arrow one up from the bottom right points to it in the diagram above.

this might not be the best answer but it's the stuff that holds all the organelles inside a cell. You could search Wikipedia.org and they probably have it.
