What is the Nucleus | Nucleus Structure and Function

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The nucleus is often called the 'brain' of the cell.

The nucleus controls all of the activities that are carried out within the cell. It consists of a nuclear membrane, chromatins, nucleolus, and chromosomes. This is the spot where all of your DNA is contained. Most cells have only one nucleus, but there are cells that have multiple nuclei and even some with no nuclei. An example of cells with no nuclei are red blood cells. We generally think of the nucleus as being round, but in fact it is not uncommon for the nucleus to be oval or disk shaped.

What do I do?

There are many functions carried out by the nucleus that are important to each and every cell as well as to the

organism as a whole. We will now take a look at those functions.

1. Stores the genetic information necessary for growth and metabolism necessary for the cell it controls and the organism as a whole.

2. Controls the transfer and replication of hereditary molecules, such as DNA and RNA between the parent cell and the child cell.

3. Ensures equal distribution and exact copying of

the genetic content during cell replication.

4. Sustains and controls cell growth.

5. Place where DNA transcription takes place.

6. Regulates energy and nutrient metabolism.

7. Responsible for secretion of ribosomes.

-Occasionally the Nucleus will have issues and the pores will allow bad things to enter, this can lead to diseases like cancer, muscular dystrophy, and dilated cardiomyopathy.
-The Nucleus was the first organelle discovered by scientists
-Robert Brown, a botanist, named the Nucleus.

The reasons why the Nucleus is better than all of the other organelles.

The reasons why the Nucleus is better than all of the other organelles. 

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, all of the other organelles are only followers of the Nucleus. They depend on instruction from the Nucleus in order to carry out their functions (which is their sole purpose of being existent). If the other organelles did not receive instruction from the Nucleus and were not able to function properly the cell, itself, would also not be able to function. So, even if you bought all of the other organelles, they would be useless without the Nucleus, nothing is worth more than the Nucleus, it is the superior organelle.

When you ask yourself this question, you may as well ask yourself why do we need cells? Cells are the most basic unit of life. The Nucleus is the most important organelle of the cell. The main purpose of cells is to store genetic material and that is the basis of what the Nucleus does. Without the Nucleus, you can say goodbye to organized DNA and the ability to synthesize RNA. The genetic material in a cell is what differentiates us as being individuals and having our own genes. The Nucleus is necessary for any of the other organelles to function. In conclusion, we need the Nucleus because we need cells.

# data[].attributes.body
The Nucleus, being the brain of the cell, has many different functions.

-The Nucleus acts as the leader for all over the other organelles. It controls and regulates the functions of the other organelles in the cell.
-The genes in the Nucleus code for proteins which form functions within the cell. Functions of the proteins include: information passes through the cell, communicating and messages through the cell, and builds structures.
- The Nucleus stores genetic information for the cell within the Chromatin (chromosomes).
-The Nucleus is responsible for daily functions of the cell and organelles need the Nucleus to direct them.
-The Nucleus can replicate DNA and synthesize RNA using DNA as a model.

The Nucleus is arguably the most important part of the cell. It is sometimes referred to as the "brain" of the cell. Without the Nucleus, the cell would not be able to function properly. The nucleus is located in the middle of the cell and occupies a circular shape.

# data[].attributes.body
Every part of the Nucleus contributes to the way the Nucleus functions. The proper function of the Nuclues would not be possible without the individual help of every other part of the organelle.

# data[].attributes.body
The Nucleolus is in the middle of the Nucleus and is granules and fibers that adjoin part of the Chromatin. RNA is synthesized by the model/ instructions of DNA.

# data[].attributes.body
The Chromatin is a complex of proteins and DNA that is the base and what the Chromosomes are made up of.

# data[].attributes.body
The Chromosomes carry out genetic information and are organizers of DNA. Only exist when the cell is going to divide. Made up of Chromatin fibers.

# data[].attributes.body
The nuclear lamina is a netlike arrangement of filaments of proteins. It maintains the shape of the nucleus and acts as a support to the nuclear envelope.

# data[].attributes.body
The nuclear pores are spread out along the nuclear membrane. They regulate what comes in and our of the Nucleus (the DNA and RNA)

# data[].attributes.body
The nuclear envelope surrounds and envelopes the nucleus. It separates the full Nucleus from the Cytoplasm which is directly outside. The nuclear envelope has a double membrane made up of lipid bilayers that have proteins.
