Structure and Function of the Cell
In this video, we will be
discussing the structure and
function of the cell. We will start
with the nucleus, which is the
brain of the cell. The nucleus has
several components:
The outer and inner layers of
the nuclear envelope
Ribosomes on the outer layer
of the nuclear envelope
, Lamins, a green protein
structure that binds to DNA
and histone proteins and
controls cell division, on the
inner layer of the nuclear
envelope
Nuclear pores, which allow for
transport between the
cytoplasm and nucleus
The nucleolus, which is
responsible for synthesizing
rRNA and making ribosomes
Chromatin, which is made up of
DNA and histone proteins and
comes in two forms:
