What is the function of nuclear membrane?
A
Membrane that protects the nucleus
B
Membrane that surrounds and protects the cell
C
Sac that stores water, nutrients, or waste products
D
Passageways where chemicals are made
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The critical function of the nuclear membranes is to act as a barrier that separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Like other cell membranes, the nuclear membranes are phospholipid bilayers, which are permeable only to small nonpolar molecules (see Figure 2.49).

Detailed explanation-2: -The nuclear membrane encloses the DNA within the nucleus and protects it from the substances in the cytoplasm. It also regulates the entry and exit of substances in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotic cells the nuclear envelope isolates and protects DNA from molecules that could damage its structure or interfere with its processing.

Detailed explanation-4: -So this is really an important part of the cell to protect. The nucleus has a membrane around it that keeps all the chromosomes inside and makes the distinction between the chromosomes being inside the nucleus and the other organelles and components of the cell staying outside.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plasma membrane, or the cell membrane, provides protection for a cell. It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell, and that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.
