Root Explanation

Nucleoplasmic → It is formed from "nucleus" (from Latin *nucleus*, meaning kernel or core) and "plasm" (from Greek *plasma*, meaning something molded or formed) and the suffix "-ic" (meaning pertaining to). The word "nucleoplasmic" refers to something pertaining to the substance of the nucleus within a cell.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'nucleus' as the core of a cell and 'plasm' as the substance that is formed around it — that's why nucleoplasmic relates to the substance of the nucleus.
