Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle is the control center of the cell?
A
plasma membrane
B
cytoplasm
C
ribosome
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleus. Known as the cell’s “command center, ” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The nucleus controls all of the cell’s activities, such as growth and metabolism, using the DNA’s genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus, formed by a nuclear membrane around a fluid nucleoplasm, is the control center of the cell. Threads of chromatin in the nucleus contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is generally considered the control center of the cell because it stores all of the genetic instructions for manufacturing proteins. Interestingly, some cells in the body, such as muscle cells, contain more than one nucleus (Figure 3.3. 2), which is known as multinucleated.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is considered as the control center of the cell as it has all the information for controlling the various components of the cell and keeping the cell alive.
