Solution

In the cytoplasm, you can find:

  1. Cytoskeleton: This is a network of fibers that helps to maintain the shape of the cell, secures certain organelles in specific positions, enables changes in cell shape and movement, and guides the movement of chromosomes during cell division.

  2. Organelles: These are specialized structures within the cell that have specific functions. Examples include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

  3. Cellular Adhesion Molecules: These are proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion.

  4. Cytosol: This is the liquid component of the cytoplasm, which surrounds the organelles and cytoskeleton. It is mostly water, but also contains enzymes, salts, organelles, and various organic molecules.

The cell membrane, however, is not found in the cytoplasm. It is the outer layer that separates the cell from its environment and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
