The cytoplasm is the semifluid material inside a cell that lies between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It includes the cytosol (the fluid portion) and all the organelles suspended within it, such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus. The cytoplasm is the site of many essential cellular processes, including metabolism and ion transport.
