Cytoplasm is the region which has cell organelles dispersed in it.

Cell organelles are the living structures which float in the cytoplasm of the cell. Different structures present inside the cell are called as cell organelles. Cell organelles include nucleus, chromosomes, plastids, vacuole, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria, ribosomes etc.

Cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid present between the nucleus and the cell membrane.
*In a prokaryotic cell, the organelles are dispersed in the cytoplasm.
*In a eukaryotic cell, the contents of the nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm. Organelles like chloroplasts, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus etc. are dispersed in the cytoplasm.
*Cytoplasm is the site of protein synthesis. Various metabolic reactions take place in the cytoplasm.
*The movement exhibited by the cytoplasm is called as cyclosis.
