Question

the gelatinous solution contained by the cell membrane is called the ________.
options:
cytoplasm
cell wall
nucleus
mitochondria

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Cytoplasm: It is the gelatinous solution within the cell membrane, containing organelles, cytosol, etc.
• Cell wall: A rigid structure (in plant/fungal cells) outside the cell membrane, not a solution inside.
• Nucleus: A membrane - bound organelle containing genetic material, not the general solution in the cell.
• Mitochondria: An organelle for energy production, not the solution.

So the correct answer is cytoplasm.

Answer:

A. cytoplasm
