Cytoplasm is the jelly like substance inside a cell where chemical and metabolic reactions take place. It contains enzymes to help speed up reactions taking place and also contains mitochondria from which energy is released. Cytoplasm can be found in most cells, examples of cells without cytoplasm can be found in the lignified cells of the xylem vessels.

  • Cytoplasm was a gelatinous fluid that filled most cells in biological lifeforms. The Klingon retrovirus known as nehret destroyed the cells of its host by attacking their cytoplasmic membranes. (VOY: "Prophecy") The biochemical analysis of a symbiogenetic orchid discovered in the Delta Quadrant by Tuvok and Neelix in 2372, which was later a contributing factor in the creation of Tuvix, was found to contain the same elements as many plants including chloroplasts, lysosomal enzymes, and cytoplasmic proteins. (VOY: "Tuvix")

  • Cytoplasm was a gelatinous fluid that filled most cells in biological lifeforms. The Klingon retrovirus known as nehret destroyed the cells of its host by attacking their cytoplasmic membranes. (VOY: "Prophecy") The medical book Gray's Anatomy mentioned in chapter one that "in the higher organisms a cell may be defined as a nucleated mass of protoplasm of microscopic size. Its two essentials, therefore, are: a soft jelly-like material, similar to that found in the ovum, and usually styled cytoplasm, and a small spherical body embedded in it, and termed a nucleus. Some of the unicellular protozoa contain no nuclei..." (VOY: "Message in a Bottle") The biochemical analysis of a symbiogenetic orchid discovered in the Delta Quadrant by Tuvok and Neelix in 2372, which was later a contributing factor in the creation of Tuvix, was found to contain the same elements as many plants including chloroplasts, lysosomal enzymes, and cytoplasmic proteins. (VOY: "Tuvix") In 2373, Doctor Bashir speculated that exposure to tetryon radiation damaged the cytoplasm of the infant Changeling, resulting in its failing life signs. (DS9: "The Begotten")
