Question

_____ is a gel-like substance enclosed by the cell membrane that contains the cell's organelles. A) chloroplast B) cytoplasm C) nucleus D) protein

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In a living organism, the cell which is mostly composed of water, salts and proteins is known as cytoplasm.

It is thick and gel like in nature which has fluid filled compartment.

• A chloroplast is an organelle found in the cells of plants and eukaryotic algae which are responsible for the conduction of photosynthesis.

• Nucleus is an organelle present in eukaryotic cells. It contains hereditary information of a cell and helps in controlling the growth and reproduction of cells.

• Polymers of amino acids are known as proteins. Each protein has some specific functions.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options cytoplasm is a gel-like substance enclosed by the cell membrane that contains the cell's organelles.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

B) cytoplasm.

Cytoplasm is the fluid filled compartment ( a thick, gel like substance) within the cell of a living organism that is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. It is surrounded by the cell membrane ( plasma membrane) and contains all the parts of cell ( such as in eukaryotic cell, it contains all the cell organelles except nucleus). It is the site for all the essential cellular processes.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.
