Talk:Cytoplasm

To do

 * Clean the first paragraph.
 * Diagram or some picture to serve as an illustration?
 * Goes into unnecessary detail like why make it confusing??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.79.244 (talk) 20:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

This page needs to be cleaned up. Sentence structure, etc. I'll see what I can do. Edit: Maybe this is beyond repair. I'm not entirely versed in this subject, but, I know that the first paragraph needs help. -- kanzure (Aug. 13th 02005)

Agreed. That first paragraph leaves me scratching my head. It talks about components and how it relates to other things I don't understand. I think this needs a much more concise and plain-language explanation of what it is. 142.73.82.13 (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

image issue
Does anyone else think that we can eliminate one of the two pictures? Maybe the first one... even though neither are that great... Breakyunit 06:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Ya, I'm going to try to do that right now, maybe find a new picture... SuperMarioBrah (talk) 02:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

got a sience project on this any suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.179.170.111 (talk) 20:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

trolling removed
I just removed some awfully typed troll about chuck norris :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nocashvalue (talk • contribs) 16:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

tweaked a bit...
I tweaked the "Differences between...." section because it originally said "people and dog" when it compared animal and plant.bullshit

There is nothing on this page that is acutally readable expect for Yuck CyThe result was do not merge. -- MarcoTolo 19:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I am against merging. Cytoplasm and Cytoplast are two different thinks. In this case they mean nearly the same. When cytoplasm is widely known term in biology, cytoplast can be a self existing entity which we can found in the biotechnological labs.--Juan de Vojníkov 05:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merging the two pages makes no sense - rather like suggesting that Missle and Mistletoe should be merged.... -- MarcoTolo 00:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the lateness of my comment, but I was away from the computer for a while. Currently, cytoplast is a one-liner page with nothing more but a definition. According to the dictionary, a cytoplast is "the intact cytoplasm of a single cell" and therefore would overlap quite well with the topic of this page. I think it could be mentioned or a subsection here until it accumulates enough content to warrent its own page. - tameeria 19:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Editing Cytoplasm page
Hi All, There are 3 of us college students in Anatomy and Physiolgy that have the project of editing this page. We have never done this before and will do the best we can, but any help, advice or comments will surely be appreciated. Thanks, --Omurphy 04:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Man, just write and study from the best articles. See: Featured articles. Photos are also a good idea. Good luck.--Juan de Vojníkov 14:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Gelatinous?
Is it really gelatinous? If so, why is this? Gelatin is gelatinous because of interlocking protein chains, but such chains would be detrimental to the cell. Any ideas?RSido (talk) 04:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC) what are the meaning of cytoplasm why you did not write the meaning of it and where from it derived — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.152.117.225 (talk) 08:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Cytosol vs. Cytoplasm
This is a common misconception, and needs to be clarified. And this article uses these terms interchangeably. It needs to be made clear that cytoplasm includes all organelles except nucleus, whereas cytosol does not include organelles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sergeymk (talk • contribs)
 * Go ahead! When the whole thing is based on volunteers, it ends up being a cobbled together connection of facts that aren't always the best or truest way to convey things.  If you've the expertise, I'd be very grateful!  'Cause I lack it.  WLU (talk) 02:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As a layman, I am confused by the relationship between the terms "cytosol", "hyaloplasm" and "groundplasm". Can this relationship be clarified here as well as in the Cytosol and Groundplasm articles? If these terms are synonymous, please indicate that. If there are differences, please express them. I appreciate and thank you for all your work in sharing this fascinating information. Rickwrd (talk) 01:37, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Lacking formality?
The entry paragraph is very odd in its formatting of a second defition. Anyone know the procedure for formatting this? talk Pro spider  19:57, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

"The cytosol is the gooey, semi-transparent fluid..." Gooey? When describing cellular contents, I wasn't aware that it is a normal procedure to explain texture. Would you call the golgi "spongey" or compare a nucleus to a ball bearing? I'll delete it, but feel free to put it back if my reasoning is off. Andykinosis (talk) 01:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Protoplasm
Could someone put in a phrase that explains the relationship between those two, please. The Protoplasm article is sort of hanging in a vacuum now, but reading the text there, should be linked by many other topics. If for no other reason than many kids learn the term in school and may later want to check up what it was and how it relates. Lisa4edit (talk) 20:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

cytoplasm?
what is cytplasm of course it is a cell what does it do???? none of these aricles really tALKs about it if you agree put an article up saying this same thing with any subject!!! my name is alske u. menrs thank you for suppose abley hepling me firgure out science and thank you for all those ppl that agree and but another page up i really accept you in my life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.169.87.36 (talk) 01:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I would also want to give this a very, very big importance, since it is one of the cell organelles and it would be senseless that only its parts were discussed. Yes, you did put its main function but are there anymore? - student_school09

organelles in the cytoplasm
in the cytoplasm are many organelles,including mitochdria,endoplasmic reticulum and more each of these organelles has specifics functions in the cell.when u leave the nucleolus you find your self in the cytoplasm.it is located between the cell membrance and the nucleolus.your ship in a clear ,thick,gel-like fluid.the fluid in the cytoplasm is constantly moving so your ship does not need to propel itself —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.237.8.191 (talk) 06:55, 2 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Ten years on and we still have bad English like this:
 * The submicroscopic ground cell substance, or cytoplasmatic matrix which remains after exclusion the cell organelles and particles is groundplasm. It is the hyaloplasm of light microscopy, and high complex, polyphasic system in which all of resolvable cytoplasmic elements of are suspended, including the larger organelles such as the ribosomes, mitochondria, the plant plastids, lipid droplets, and vacuoles.
 * It's been like that for 13 days. Anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.85.100 (talk) 09:09, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Comment moved from article to here
Should say "on the inside of" the cell membrane, not between, which would incorrectly imply that cytoplasm is found between leaflets of the bilayer. It is more accurate to say it is on the inside of the cell membrane. moved this comment from an IP to this talk page. Calmer  Waters  05:01, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Peroxisomes
This picture lacks Peroxisomes. ~College biology student. 71.51.37.60 (talk) 01:01, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 August 2020
In the sub-section "Physical nature/As a sol-gel" please ADD the following sentence (at the end of the paragraph):

The latest research on human cell lines indicates, that it is a length-scale that determines colloid-like (<100 nm) or gel-like (>100nm) properties of cytoplasm.

The reason of the proposed change is developing knowledge in the field. Romenel (talk) 10:33, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
