Question

It is said that the protoplasm cannot be analyzed chemically. Why?

Answer 1

Protoplasm is the living matter of the cell. Protoplasm cannot be analyzed chemically because the chemical composition of protoplasm is very complex. It varies slightly from one cell to another, although the common elements included in the composition of protoplasms such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, iron and phosphorus are still the same in all the cells.
