Cyt- (Su/-), Cyto- (Cylo-)

Cyt- (Su/-), Cyto- (Cylo-) is a prefix meaning:

1. Cell(s).

The prefix cyt- or cyto- is used in words referring to cells. For example: cytology is the science of cells, cytoplasm is the internal contents of the cell.

2. Cytoplasm.

Cytoplasm is the internal contents of a cell, bounded by the cell membrane. The prefix cyto- in the word cytoplasm indicates that we are talking about a substance located inside the cell.

The prefixes Cyt and Su are synonymous because they denote cell. These prefixes are used in biology to refer to various cells such as neurons, muscle cells, blood cells, etc.

Cyto- and Cylo- prefixes also mean “cytoplasm”. They are used to refer to various components of the cytoplasm of cells, such as cytoplasmic membranes, organelles and other structures.

For example, cyto- means cytoplasm, and cytochrom means cytochrome, which is one of the components of the cytoplasm. There are also terms such as “cytochrome c” and “cytochrome oxidase” which are used to refer to cytochrome-related enzymes.

Thus, cyt-, cyto- and cylo- are synonymous and are used to refer to cells and cytoplasm in biology.

*Fast cytological processes - here cytological - are not only phenomena associated with the vital activity of cells, but also cellular processes lying beyond the biological level, associated with the processes of plastic growth, the development of cell morphogenesis over time.*
