Abstract

The cytoplasm of all animal and plant cells is a complex system consisting of an aqueous solution of a large number of charged and uncharged low molecular weight compounds including ions, sugars, amino acids amongst others. In addition,charged polymers of various kinds such as polypeptides, polysaccharides and copolymers of these are present at a relatively high concentration.
