Cytoplasm can be divided into: Cytosol, organelles and cytoplasmic inclusions. Cytosol is a gelatinous material and most of the space in cytoplasm when an organelle is not present. Cytosol comprises of salt, water, cytoskeleton filaments and organic molecules.he cytoplasm and the enzymes within it break down the macromolecules into small portions to facilitate energy production for the mitochondriaâs of all the cells. Cytoplasm plays an important role in the process of glycolysis as well as in the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acid and sugar.
Iridium is very hard and brittle and hardens other metals it is alloyed with, especially platinum. These alloys are used in spark plugs, electrical contacts, and high temperature crucibles. Biological Rating: No known benefits for life processes in plants or animals.btained From: Iridium is found in its pure native form and in osmiridium, a natural alloy of iridium and osmium. Iridium is mined from sulfide layers in mafic igneous rocks where it is present with other platinum-group elements.
The reserves of iridium have not been estimated. This element is highly flammable and if it comes in contact with the eyes, it may cause irritation. Standard industrial handling poses low hazard when it comes to skin contact, but ingestion of iridium may cause irritation. It is, however, a low ingestion hazard.n its pure form, the element is very hard to machine and very brittle. The main application of iridium is as a hardening agent of platinum. High temperature equipment such as crucibles is made from platinum-iridium alloys.
