Question

Abt nUcleolus......function.

Answer 1

The nucleolus is a round body located inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. It is not surrounded by a membrane but sits in the nucleus. The nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA, also known as rRNA. It then sends the subunits out to the rest of the cell where they combine into complete ribosomes. Ribosomes make proteins; therefore, the nucleolus plays a vital role in making proteins in the cell.

Function of the Nucleolus

Ribosomes are made of two subunits, a large and a small. Each subunit is manufactured separately in the nucleolus. The proteins needed to make them enter the nucleus through pores in the nuclear membrane. The rRNA is made in the nucleolus itself. Once made, the subunits leave through the nuclear pores and combine elsewhere in the cell.

Ribosomes can be found in various places in the cell, including the cytosol, the endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear membrane. They are responsible for creating all of the proteins that the cell needs. The more proteins a cell needs to make, the more ribosomes it needs, and therefore, the larger the nucleolus.

Answer 2

Nucleus, in biology, a specialized structure occurring in most cells (except bacteria and blue-green algae) and separated from the rest of the cell by a double layer, the nuclear membrane. This membrane seems to be continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (a membranous network) of the cell and has pores, which probably permit the entrance of large molecules. The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information. Nucleoli are small bodies often seen within the nucleus; they play an important part in the synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein. The gel-like matrix in which the nuclear components are suspended is the nucleoplasm.
