Answer:

Protoplasm is composed of a mixture of small molecules such as ions, amino acids, monosaccharides and water, and macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and polysaccharides. In eukaryotes the protoplasm surrounding the cell nucleus is known as the cytoplasm and that inside the nucleus as the nucleoplasm.

Protoplasm is not a chemical, but an elaborate organization of some of the most complex chemical substances known. Moreover, the chemical composition differs in every species and in every cell of the same organism.
