Answer 1

Cell organelles:

1. No, the cytoplasm is not an organelle.
2. Cell organelles are the cellular components.
3. These cell organelles include membrane and non-membrane bound organelles that are found inside cells.
4. Ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleus, chloroplast, etc. are examples of cell organelles.
5. Cytoplasm, also known as the non-nuclear content of protoplasm, is the semi-fluid component of a cell that is both internal to and exterior to the nuclear membrane.
6. All of the organelles in eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus) are found in the cytoplasm.
