Flashcards

What is the nucleus?

A structure of the cell, not considered an organelle in the ЕГЭ. It's separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope.

What is the function of the nuclear envelope?

Double membrane with numerous pores that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm.

What are nuclear pores?

Pores in the nuclear envelope that allow the nucleus to communicate with the cytoplasm.

What is karyoplasm?

The liquid content inside the nucleus.

Study Notes

  • In the Unified State Exam (USE), the nucleus is not considered an organelle; it is a separate structure of the cell.
  • The nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear envelope, which is a double membrane with numerous pores.
  • The nucleus communicates with the cytoplasm of the cell through the pores in its envelope.
  • The liquid inside the nucleus is called karyoplasm.
  • The cytoplasm contains everything within the cell except for the nucleus.

Nuclear Components

  • Chromatin and the nucleolus are immersed in the karyoplasm.
  • Chromatin is the hereditary material of the cell and contains DNA.
  • During cell division, chromatin transforms into chromosomes.
  • The nucleolus forms ribosomes.

Nuclear Function

  • The nucleus stores genetic information.
  • It controls the cell cycle (division).
  • It controls metabolism, or in simpler terms, life activity.
