The deutoplasm comprises the food particles stored in the cytoplasm of an ovum or a cell, as distinguished from protoplasm, the yolk substance. Generally, the deutoplasm accumulates about the nucleus and is heavier than the surrounding cytoplasm. In chicken eggs, the cytoplasm and deutoplasm are separate.[1]
 | This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Egg yolk is outside the cell, but human "deutoplasm" is the granular protein stuff inside the ovum. Make this make sense. The 1911 reference is not helping. (November 2024) |
The primary function of the deutoplasm is to provide the developing embryo with additional nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins and lipids.[2]
