CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Sometimes called the “Brain of the Cell", what is the function of the cell nucleus found in BOTH plant and animal cells?
A
make energy
B
control cell activity
C
remove waste products
D
allow molecules to enter the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The DNA of the cell, which controls the ribosome and protein creation, is found in the nucleus. The nucleus governs and regulates the processes of the cell (such as development and metabolism), as well as housing the genes that contain the cell’s genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary functions of the nucleus are to store the cell’s DNA, maintain its integrity, and facilitate its transcription and replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -It stores the cell’s hereditary material, or DNA, and it coordinates the cell’s activities, which include intermediary metabolism, growth, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The nucleus, often considered the “brain” of the cell, contains the cell’s vast genome. The nucleus is primarily responsible for regulating gene expression, which in turn controls the instructions for protein synthesis.
