What does a nucleus do?
Control the cell's activities

What is cytoplasm?
Cytoplasm is where many chemical reactions take place.

What do plant and algal cells also contain (as well as everything in an animal cell).
They also contain; a rigid cell wall made of cellulose for support, chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis; the chloroplasts absorb light energy to make food and they also contain a permanent vacuole containing cell sap.
