A: Cytoplasm has many functions in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including aiding in the movement of cellular materials and transporting the genetic material and products of cellular respiration. It also acts as a liquid medium to suspend organelles and helps cells expand during reproduction.
The cytoplasm also helps in movement of nutrients within the cell. The movement is known as cytoplasmic streaming. The cytoplasm also prevents the organelles from collapsing together by keeping them apart.
