Cytoplasm - Filling Fluid
Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills a cell. Scientists used to call the fluid protoplasm. Early on, they didn't know about the many different types of fluids in the cell.
Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules.
In the cytoplasm, the Hsp70 (heat-shock protein of 70 kDa) and chaperonin families of molecular chaperones appear to be the major contributors to efficient protein folding during both normal conditions and adverse conditions such as heat stress.
Cytoplasm (protoplasm) is a material probably of variable constitution during life, but yielding on its disintegration bodies chiefly of proteid nature.
Cytoplasm - The cytoplasm, or protoplasm, of bacterial cells is where the functions for cell growth, metabolism, and replication are carried out.

Cytoplasm in the root hairs streams to the root tip and back, further increasing the efficiency of waste product removal, nutrient uptake, and transport to and from the main root structure.
cytoplasm - contents of a cell that are contained within its plasma membrane but, in the case of eucaryotic cells, outside the nucleus.
Cytoplasm is a complex of organic and inorganic substances, mainly proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and water.

the cytoplasm of root cells — called the symplast — that is, it crosses the plasma membrane and then passes from cell to cell through plasmodesmata.
The cytoplasm was defined earlier as the material between the plasma membrane (cell membrane) and the nuclear envelope.
mRNA - A cytoplasmic RNA which serves directly as the source of code for protein synthesis. See TRANSLATION.
Nuclear (or cytoplasmic) receptors are soluble proteins localized within the cytoplasm or the nucleoplasm. The hormone has to pass through the plasma membrane, usually by passive diffusion, to reach the receptor and initiate the signal cascade.
The class of RNA molecules that copies the genetic information from DNA, in the nucleus, and carries it to ribosomes, in the cytoplasm, where it is translated into protein. (See RNA.) Metabolism.
Exons -- portion of a gene included in the transcript of a gene and survives processing of the RNA in the cell nucleus to become part of a spliced messenger of a structural RNA in the cell cytoplasm; ...

A human cell is made up a central nucleus (containing DNA) a cytoplasm and a outer cell membrane.
Centimorgan (cM) A unit of measure of recombination frequency.
Outside the nucleus is the cytoplasm which contains a variety of biomolecules, membranes, and organelles. There is a system of membranes known as the endoplasmic reticulum.
This results from a cytoplasmic incompatability between gametes from strains that have the parasite (or symbiont) and stains that don't. An example of this is seen in the mosquito Culex pipiens (Yen and Barr 1971).
A bacterial cell may seem simple but it's actually a complex structure - a gel-like matrix of the cytoplasm, surrounded by both a lipid bilayer cell membrane and a cell wall.
The cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotes is fundamentally similar to that of a eukaryotic cell. The variety of proteins in the cytoplasmic membrane in prokaryotes is greater because of the significantly greater number of functions performed by it.
A chemical found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells; it plays an important role in protein synthesis and other chemical activities of the cell. The structure of RNA is similar to that of DNA.
Alkaline phosphatase is inactive unless it is exported outside of the cytoplasm where it becomes oxidized.
Eukaryote: Organism whose cells have (1) chromosomes with nucleosomal structure and are separated from the cytoplasm by a two-membrane nuclear envelope, and (2) compartmentalization of functions in distinct cytoplasmic organelles.
A network of membranous tubules in the cytoplasm of a cell, endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the production of proteins, and other functions. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes; smooth ER is not.

This is the first step in the expression of any gene. The resulting RNA, if it codes for a protein, will be spliced, polyadenylated, transported to the cytoplasm, and by the process of translation will produce the desired protein molecule.
Their flowers are in cones, and male and flower cones are separate. The oldest (britlecone pine) and the largest (sequoia) extant organisms belong to this Class. Their unique feature is the inheritance of cytoplasmic DNA (chloroplasts) via pollens.
