Algal cells have a unique structure including a cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, a central vacuole, and a nucleus. The cell wall provides structure and protection, while the cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, and the central vacuole stores water and nutrients. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material.
Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane.
Chloroplasts are located in the cytoplasm of plant and algal cells, predominantly in the cells' mesophyll layer. They are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Movement in response to light is called phototaxis, and in response to chemicals is chemotaxis. More specifically, movement towards a stimulus is positive and away from is negative. For example, positive chemotaxis is movement of a cell towards nutrients.
The process that describes the ATP-requiring movement of extremely large substances out of a cell in pockets called vesicles is known as exocytosis. During exocytosis, vesicles containing the substances fuse with the cell membrane, releasing their contents into the extracellular space. This mechanism is crucial for processes such as neurotransmitter release and the secretion of hormones.
The chloroplast converts light energy into chemical energy in a photosynthetic cell, such as a plant cell or algal cell.

When placed in an isotonic solution, algal cells will remain the same size and maintain their normal shape. This is because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is balanced with the concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of the cell.

If a cell does not have a nucleus, then it is a prokaryote. If a eukaryotic cell has chloroplasts, then it is a plant or algal cell. If a cell has a nucleus but no chloroplasts, then it could be an animal cell.
