Membranes divide the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells into partments. Three categories in eukaryotic cells: (1) the endomembrane system: ER, plex, Lys., secretory vesicles. (2) the cytosol. (3) mitochondria, chloroplasts, peroxisomes, and the nucleus. ? Membrane-bound structures (organelles) are found in all eukaryotic cells. Evaluation only. Evaluation only.

Cytoplasmic Matrix : The region of fluid content of the cytoplasm outside of the membranous organelles. Aqueous solution of large and small molecules including filaments of cytoskeleton which act anizer for some order. ? The Cytosol is the site of protein synthesis and degradation or modification . It also performs most of the cell ’ s intermediary metabolism . A. Cytoplasmic matrix (Cytosol) and Endomembrane System Evaluation only. Evaluation only. Created with Client Profile .
