In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm is contained within cells in the space between the _____ and the _____.

a
cell membrane and the plasma membrane
b
plasma membrane and the external glycoproteins
c
cell membrane and the nuclear membrane
d
nucleus and the nuclear membrane, only

c) cell membrane and the nuclear membrane

The correct answer is c) cell membrane and the nuclear membrane. To understand this, let's break it down:

Eukaryotic cells are cells that have a true nucleus, which is enclosed by a nuclear membrane. The cytoplasm refers to the jelly-like substance that fills the space between the cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane) and the nuclear membrane.

So, the cytoplasm is contained within cells in the space between the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane. Option c) correctly identifies this arrangement in eukaryotic cells.

c. cell membrane and the nuclear membrane
