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
