| Internal Name | protoplasm |
Significantly enhanced version of Cytoplasm intended to buff storage for non-player species. Can't be added to player cells, but may be present in cells the player has fossilised from the environment.
Visually matches Cytoplasm and inherits many of its traits.
Requirements
The player cannot evolve Protoplasm. Non-player species can with no restrictions.
Processes
Glycolysis: Glucose 
→ ATP 
Enhanced version of Cytoplasm Glycolysis with different input/output rates.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
It's not possible to use Protoplasm in regular games. The player can only use it if they play in freebuild mode with a non-player species they fossilised in a previous game and that happens to have evolved this organelle.
When it does appear, Protoplasm is strategically equivalent to Cytoplasm but with notably increased storage and slower Glucose production. Cells with Protoplasm can survive much longer without finding compound clouds or consuming prey.
Scientific Background
In some places, Protoplasm is another name for Cytoplasm, though it can also refer to all contents of a cell, including the nucleus and surrounding structures.
