Q

Nuclear envelope

A

Nuclear envelope is. Double layer membrane surrounding the nucleus

Perinuclear space fluid-filled space between the two membranes

Nuclear pores: openings where the two membranes fuse,allowing molecules to pass in and out

Selective permeability:regulates what enters and exits the nucleus

Protects dna : keeps genetic material safe inside the nucleus

Nucleoplasm:jelly- like fluid inside the nucleus where components are suspended

Q

Nucleolus

A

Nucleolus:one or more small, dark-staining round structures inside the nucleus

Function:the nucleolus is where ribosomes are made

Ribosomes assembly: ribosomal rna and proteins combine to form ribosomes.

Ribosomes:once assembled, ribosomes move to the cytoplasm,where they help make proteins

Q

Chomatin

A

Chomatin:Dna wrapped around protein called histones,forming a loose network like beads on string.

When a cell is not devided chromatin is scattered throughout the nucleus

In dividing cells chromatin condenses into thick,rod like structures called chromosomes

Chromosomes are formed when chromatin coils and condenses during cells
