State

The nucleus houses a eukaryotic cell's DNA and directs ribosome and protein synthesis, enclosed by a double-membrane nuclear envelope studded with pores.

Show

Nuclear pores control passage of ions, molecules, and RNA between the nucleoplasm and the surrounding cytoplasm.

Watch for

The nuclear envelope is two phospholipid bilayers, not one — an inner and an outer membrane, continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum.
