2 Nucleoplasm

Question 1

Function

Answer 1

• Suspends structures inside the nuclear membrane
• Helps maintain the shape and structure of the nucleus
• Plays an important role in the transportation of materials that are vital to cell metabolism and function

Question 2

Structure

Answer 2

• Also known as Karyoplasm
• Made up mostly of water, ions, and a various mixture of other molecules.
• It is completely enclosed within the nuclear membrane(nuclear envelope).
• Highly gelatinous, sticky liquid that supports the chromosomes and nucleoli.

Question 3

Found?

Answer 3

All eukaryotic cells contain nucleoplasm such as: Protists cells, Fungi cells, Animal cells, and Plant cells

Question 4

Why is it found in Eukaryotic cells

Answer 4

• The Nucleus does not contain cytoplasm to keeps its structure so it uses Nucleoplasm.
• The nucleoplasm holds the nucleus together and keeps the substances inside from colliding. It also makes nucleus function easier.
