Controlling Cell Activities

A company could have individual employees make the entire products themselves, but it's more efficient to use an assembly line. Similarly, eukaryotic cells have specialized structures that perform specific tasks, much like the separate stages of an assembly line in a factory. 

The Nucleus

Just as a factory needs a manager, a cell needs an organelle to direct the cell processes. The nucleus is the cell's managing structure. The nucleus contains most of the cell's DNA, which stores information used to make proteins for cell growth, function, and reproduction. Within the nucleus is the site of ribosome production, call the nucleolus.

What is the name of the highlighted portion of the nucleus?

nucleolus

chromatin 

nuclear envelope

nuclear pore

What is the function of the highlighted portion of the nucleus?

It contains genetic information for the cell. 

It surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane. 

It produces ribosomes. 

It allows larger-sized substances to move into and out of the nucleus. 

The nucleus is responsible for cell management. It determines when production occurs and when production stops.
