Protoplasm
Protoplasm (
In some definitions, it is a general term for the
Like the nucleus, whether to include the vacuole in the protoplasm concept is controversial.[10]

History
The word "protoplasm" comes from the Greek protos for first, and plasma for thing formed, and was originally used in religious contexts.
In 1872,
In 1965, Lardy introduced the term "cytosol", later redefined to refer to the liquid inside cells.[38]
By the time Huxley wrote, a long-standing debate was largely settled over the fundamental unit of life: was it the cell or was it protoplasm? By the late 1860s, the debate was largely settled in favor of protoplasm. The cell was a container for protoplasm, the fundamental and universal material substance of life. Huxley's principal contribution was to establish protoplasm as incompatible with a
The idea that protoplasm of eukaryotes is simply divisible into a ground substance called "cytoplasm" and a structural body called the
Description
Physical nature
Protoplasm is physically
Chemical composition
There are about 30 elements, like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, calcium and many others which are identified in protoplasm of different cells. They form compounds, like water (65-80%), carbohydrates, ions, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), fatty acids, glycerol, nucleotides, nucleosides and minerals. They are living as long as they are part of protoplasm. They are not able to perform functions of life independently. The composition of protoplasm is inconsistent and continuous changes take place in it.[43]
Functions
Some functions of protoplasm are:-
- It provides place where all life functions occur
- The cells respond to various stimuli like temperature, light, chemicals, gravitation, pricking, electric shocks and others because of properties of protoplasm.
- Cyclosis (the streaming movement of protoplasm is known as Cyclosis. It helps in even distribution of various materials in the cells.)[43]
