The nucleus of the cell is responsible for
A
altering and packaging proteins and lipids.
B
converting light energy into food energy.
C
breaking down molecules to produce energy.
D
controlling the activities of the cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclei contain the genetic material called DNA that is responsible for controlling and directing all cell activities.

Detailed explanation-2: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center. DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary functions of the nucleus are to store the cell’s DNA, maintain its integrity, and facilitate its transcription and replication.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is like the remote control center of the cell. It acts as the cell’s brain by telling it what to do, how to grow, and when to reproduce. The nucleus is home to the cell’s genes. A membrane, a thin layer that allows chemicals to pass in and out to the rest of the cell, surrounds the nucleus.
