_____ is a gel-like substance enclosed by the cell membrane that contains the cell's organelles. A) chloroplast B) cytoplasm C) nucleus D) protein

Cytoplasm is the fluid filled compartment ( a thick, gel like substance) within the cell of a living organism that is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. It is surrounded by the cell membrane ( plasma membrane) and contains all the parts of cell ( such as in eukaryotic cell, it contains all the cell organelles except nucleus). It is the site for all the essential cellular processes.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a living organism, the cell which is mostly composed of water, salts and proteins is known as cytoplasm.

It is thick and gel like in nature which has fluid filled compartment.

A chloroplast is an organelle found in the cells of plants and eukaryotic algae which are responsible for the conduction of photosynthesis.

Nucleus is an organelle present in eukaryotic cells. It contains hereditary information of a cell and helps in controlling the growth and reproduction of cells.

Polymers of amino acids are known as proteins. Each protein has some specific functions.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options cytoplasm is a gel-like substance enclosed by the cell membrane that contains the cell's organelles.
