The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information. The nucleolus is a region found within the cell nucleus that is concerned with producing and assembling the cell's ribosomes. Following assembly, ribosomes are transported to the cell cytoplasm where they serve as the sites for protein synthesis.

Multiple Choice

In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes carrying genetic information are found in the

• Ribosomes

Multiple Choice

What distinguishes a eukaryotic cell from a prokaryotic cell is the presence of 

• A cell wall
• A nucleus
• DNA
• Ribosomes

Multiple Choice

Where is the genetic material found in the cell? 

• Nucleolus
• Cytoplasm
• Nucleus
• Chloroplast

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the nucleus?

• to control the activities within the cell
• to package and ship cellular materials
• to store water and nutrients 
• to control the materials that pass into and out of the cell
