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
