A city has many parts that work together, like a cell. The mayor controls the operations of the city, a fence protects it, grass and sidewalks flow throughout it, and an electrical company provides power for the city. If the fence of a city is like a cell membrane, controlling what enters and leaves the cell, what part of a cell is most like the mayor?

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus
