Concept explainers
To discuss:
The structure and function of the nucleus especially the nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina.
Introduction:
Cells are regarded as the simplest unit (structural and functional) of life. Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Protoplasm denotes all living material that are present in the cell enclosed by the cellular membrane (inside and outside the nucleus). Organelles are structures present within a cell and are specialized to perform a particular
