Organelles - The Nucleus

The Nucleus is the largest organelle, features include:
  - Nuclear Envelope - two membranes with fluid 
     between them
  - Nuclear Pores - holes that go right through the 
     envelope
             - This allows relative large molecules to pass 
                through
  - Nucleolus - a dense, spherical structure




The nucleus contains almost all of the cell's genetic material. The DNA contains instructions for making proteins. Some of these proteins regulate cell activity.
The nucleus also makes RNA and Ribosomes
