"Cell (biology) The cell (from Latin ""cella"", meaning ""small room"") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. A cell is the smallest unit of life. Cells are often called the ""building blocks of life"". The study of cells is called cell biology. Cells consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane, which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Organisms can be classified as unicellular (consisting of a single cell; including bacteria) or multicellular (including plants and animals). While the number of cells in plants and animals varies from species to species, humans"
"Protoplasm Protoplasm is the living content of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane.

Prior to this, other terms, including ""hyaloplasm"", were used for the cell fluid, not always synonymously, as its nature was not very clear (see protoplasm).

The cytosol consists mostly of water, dissolved ions, small molecules, and large water-soluble molecules (such as proteins). The majority of these non-protein molecules have a molecular"

By the time Huxley wrote, a long-standing debate was largely settled over the fundamental unit of life: was it the cell or was it protoplasm?
