The Cells of All Living Things have Cytoplasm. All living things are related.

28 Nov

Yes, all living cells, whether they are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, have cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills the cell and contains all the organelles. It plays a crucial role in cellular functions such as cell division and metabolic processes. Cells are the fundamental units of life. They are the smallest entities capable of performing all the activities necessary for existence: growing, reproducing, responding to the environment, and maintaining homeostasis. They are so tiny that millions can fit on the head of a pin, yet within them are astonishing levels of organization, complexity, and beauty. Evolution of cells refers to the evolutionary origin and subsequent evolutionary development of cells. Cells first emerged at least 3.8 billion years ago, approximately 750 million years after Earth was formed.
