The Nucleus Stephanie Baur Daniel Luna
Eukaryotic vs. Prokaryotic • Location of DNA • Nucleus vs. Nucleoid • Double membrane or Non membrane-enclosed
Purpose • Control center of the cell • Contains the DNA in the form of chromosomes • Structures include: Nuclear Envelope Nucleolus
Nuclear Envelope • Encloses the nucleus • Double membrane • Perforated by pores • Nuclear Lamina • Provides support
Nuclear Pores • “Pore Complex” • Regulation of what is transported across envelope • Proteins, RNA’s, Macromolecules
Nucleolus • Synthesizing of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Proteins imported from the cytoplasm assemble with rRNA • Formation of ribosomes
