Cytoplast

A cytoplast is a medical term which is defined as cell membrane plus cytoplasm. It is occasionally used to describe a cell in which the nucleus has been removed.[1]

Protoplasm = Cytoplasm + Nucleoplasm

Protoplast = Protoplasm + Plasma membrane

So, Cytoplasm = Protoplasm - Nucleoplasm and

Cytoplast = Cytoplasm + Plasma membrane
