The Nucleus By: Will, Dominic and Logan.
STRUCTURE • The structure of the nucleus contains a double membrane. • It also is made up of 4 layers of phospholipids. • Its barrier has large holes in it which is made for materials to pass in and out of.
Location • The nucleus is located in the center of the cell. • It is considered the heart of the cell. • It can be found in eukaryotic cells, but prokaryotic cells lack nuclei.
Functions • The nucleus regulates the cell’s actions by controlling its enzymes. • It stores genetic information that the cell needs for reproduction and growth. • It controls the transfer of and replication of molecules in the parent cell and the child cell.
Which cells have a nucleus The only kinds of cells that have a nucleus are eukaryotic cells. The only cells in the human body with a nucleus are the red blood cells.
