Cytoplasm can be divided into: Cytosol, organelles and cytoplasmic inclusions. Cytosol is a gelatinous material and most of the space in cytoplasm when an organelle is not present. Cytosol comprises of salt, water, cytoskeleton filaments and organic molecules.he cytoplasm and the enzymes within it break down the macromolecules into small portions to facilitate energy production for the mitochondriaâs of all the cells. Cytoplasm plays an important role in the process of glycolysis as well as in the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acid and sugar.
Iridium is very hard and brittle and hardens other metals it is alloyed with, especially platinum. These alloys are used in spark plugs, electrical contacts, and high temperature crucibles. Biological Rating: No known benefits for life processes in plants or animals.btained From: Iridium is found in its pure native form and in osmiridium, a natural alloy of iridium and osmium. Iridium is mined from sulfide layers in mafic igneous rocks where it is present with other platinum-group elements.
It is not certain whether osmium or iridium is the most dense element. Iridium is found uncombined in nature as the metal and in combination with osmium and platinum. It is obtained commercially from osmiridium, a byproduct of platinum production. very rare element (0.0001 ppm of Earth 's crust), iridium is found in the naturally occurring alloys osmiridium (approximately 50% iridium) and iridiosmium (approximately 70% iridium) in Alaska and South Africa. It is obtained by igniting ammonium chloroiridate, (NH 4) 3 IrCl 6, in hydrogen atmosphere.
