In the context of the cytoplasm, the relevant structures are:
- **Chloroplasts**: Found in plant cells and some algae, chloroplasts are present in the cytoplasm and are involved in photosynthesis.
The other options do not belong in the cytoplasm:
- **Cell membrane**: This is the outer boundary of the cell but is not considered part of the cytoplasm itself.
- **Cell wall**: This is a rigid structure found outside the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, and is not part of the cytoplasm.
- **Nucleus**: This is a distinct organelle that houses genetic material and is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope.
So, the only correct structure in the cytoplasm from your list is **chloroplasts**.
