The nucleus is made up of; a nuclear membrane, this is consists of the outer membrane and the inner membrane, nucleolus, chromatin, and pores in the nuclear membrane, these pore are made of many proteins which are known as nucleoproteins. These pores allow for the passage of molecules up to a certain size. The nucleus in an animal cell is surrounded by the nuclear membrane. The function of the nucleus in an animal cell is; that it controls the genetic characteristics of an organism, it is responsible for the creation of protein, growth and cell division. The nucleus also; stores genetic material in the form of DNA strands, as well as this it also stores proteins in the nucleolus. Enchanted learning. (2014).

It is found fairly evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. BSCB. (2014). Smooth ER is largely a manufacturing organelle, creating and distributing the molecules that an animal cell needs. Smooth ER in animal cells makes lipids, or fatty acids, and so cells involved in lipid manufacturing hold many units of this organelle.
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum has a rough appearance when placed under the microscope due to ribosomes being attached to the organelle Rough ER is found throughout the cell but the density is higher near the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus. BSCB. (2014). The rough endoplasmic reticulum’s main function is to synthesise and transfer proteins. These proteins are usually then secreted from the cell or essential membrane proteins that stay embedded in the membrane.
All the other organelles are surrounded by the cytoplasm, which is a semi-fluid substance inside the cell that helps give the cell structure. It is made up of water and nutrients which are a useful source when the cell requires it. It is found on the inside of the cell membrane. The organelles float around on it. The cytoplasm is where the cell expands and the growth of the cell takes place. The cytoskeleton of the cytoplasm gives shape to the cell and it also facilitates movement. It also aids in the movement of the different cellular
The nucleus is a organelle that controls all life activities, especially reproduction. In a basketball stadium, the head coach is like the nucleus. The head coach controls everything that happens especially what his team does. This is how the

Mitochondria are sub-cellular organelles which are found suspended in the cytoplasm of majority of eukaryotic cells. One of their functions is to produce energy in a form (ATP) that is useful for all cells to maintain the intra and extra cellular functioning. Mitochondrion has a matrix that is surrounded by two membranes called the inner membrane and the outer membrane. These two membranes are separated by an inter membrane space. The outer membrane has proteins embedded in them (most of which are porins- proteins that allow free transfer of molecules such as nutrients, ions, proteins etc.). While the outer membrane is smooth, the inner membrane is highly convoluted into structures called cristae to increase the surface area of the membrane. [1]
parts, and each part has its own job. The nucleus of a cell is very similar
All the living beings are made up of cells. They contain nucleus, which controls and performs their activities. The cells are divided into the two main categories depending on whether they contain nucleus or not. They are:
In the most general terms, the nucleus is the command center of a eukaryotic cell. Although the origin of the organelle is unclear, it is believed that it is derived from a symbiosis relationship between a bacterium and an archaea (Martin W. 2005). Being the main hub for the inner workings of a cell involves different functions overall. These nucleic functions are determined by the genes within the DNA of the cell. Functions of the cell are also regulate by soluble proteins that come in and out of the cell via the membranes and specific channels or the nuclear pore complexes. The overall objectives of the nucleus include; gene expression, compartmentalization, and processing pre-mRNA. The functions of the organelles and sub-regions
The nucleus is often the largest organelle found in a Eukaryotic cell with a size of 10-20 un. It is surrounded by two membrane layers which can be identified on the diagram below. Within the nucleus structure are small pores with a size of 100un in diameter. These pores together make up around one third of the nuclear membrane surface area.
These cells can be round or irregular shapes maintained by the plasma membrane. Animal cells have certain organelles that are not found in plant cells such as centrioles, lysosomes, cilia, and flagella. All of these organelles have specific jobs to help the cell function. For example, the centrioles organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division, and the cilia aids cellular locomotion. Animal cells store energy in the structure of complex carbohydrates, and can only produce ten of the twenty amino acids needed to produce
The nucleus is one of the most important organelles in a eukaryotic cell. The shape of the nucleus is generally spherical, it should be oval, disc formed reckoning on the sort of cell. The nucleus was found by Robert Brown in 1831 while he was looking at orchids under a microscope. He discovered a blurred area in the cells of the flowers and called it the areola or the nucleus.
Cooperton alleged a bare procedural violation that is insufficient to satisfy the concrete injury portion of the injury-in-fact requirement for standing.
Cells are able to grow and reproduce. Cells reproduce by splitting and passing on their genes (hereditary information) to Daughter cells. The nucleus always divides before the rest of the cell divides. Therefore each daughter cell contains their own nucleus. The nucleus controls the cells activities through the genetic material DNA. The cells in a body are all the same except the gametes they were all made from one cell, the Zygote. This is the cell that was formed when two gametes from your parents fused.
Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. But it also contains highly organized physical structures which are called intracellular organelles. These organelles are important for cellular function. For instance Mitochondria is the one of most important organelle of the cell. Without Mitochondria more than 95% of the cell’s energy, which release from nutrients would cease immediately [Guyton et al. 2007].
The Animal Cell is a little bit different than the Plant Cell for only a couple of reasons. One is how the Plant Cell has a cell wall and the Animal Cell doesn’t. The cell wall protects and gives structure to the cell. Then there is the Nucleus, which serves as a control center for the cell. Inside the Nucleus there are one or more Nucleoli. They are dense, granular bodies that disappear at the beginning of cell division and reappear at the end. Then you have the Cytoplasm. This is the watery material lying within the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The Cytoplasm also contains organelles, which have specific functions in the cell metabolism. Then there are the Golgi Bodies, which serve as processing, packaging, and storage for the cell. These organelles package and ship things out. Another parts of the cell, a very important one in fact, are the Lysosomes. These organelles are used to break things down and contain enzymes.
The membrane surrounding the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Most of the cells we used in the experiments held, were multicellular or consisting of more than one cell. A variety of cells were used in completing the experiments. We used union cells, cheek cells, potato cells, and Elodeo cells. We also used Planaria which is a unicellular organism.
Their main purpose is to survive and their functions allow them to do so. All cells have common features whether they are eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. The common features include a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and DNA. A plasma membrane which is also known as a cellular membrane, surrounds all cells and its primary function is to protect them. Plasma membrane is made up of two layers of phospholipids which are a class of lipids and has many proteins embedded in it. The proteins have a function of providing support and shape to a cell. There are three different proteins in cell membranes (see appendix 1). The plasma membrane also regulates the entry and exit of the cell, as many molecules cross the cell membrane by osmosis and
