Q4. Which part of the cell contains organelles?
Ans: Cell organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm of the cell . Cytoplasm is the gel like substance present between the cell membrane and the nucleus. Various other components, or organelles, of cells are present in the cytoplasm. These are mitochondria, Golgi bodies, ribosomes, etc.
