Explore the cellular landscape with BioSpeak in this enlightening episode focused on terms like protoplast, protoplasm, nucleoplasm, cytoplasm, and cytosol. Learn how protoplast encompasses everything within the cell membrane, excluding the cell wall. Delve into the distinctions between protoplasm, nucleoplasm, and cytoplasm, unraveling the complexities of the cell's interior. Understand how cytosol, the gel-like substance constituting up to 70% of the cell's internal space, collaborates with the cytoskeleton to maintain structural integrity. Navigate the historical nuances between cytoplasm and cytosol, clarifying the interchangeable use by some scientists. Wrapping up with a fun fact about ectoplasm and endoplasm, this episode provides clarity on the 'plasm' perplexity in cellular biology
