Cells vary greatly in their size, shape, function, and content. Describing a "typical cell" is nearly impossible! Commonly, a cell consists of two major parts. The first part is called the nucleus and the second part is called the cytoplasm. The nucleus is the innermost area and is surrounded by a thin membrane called the nuclear envelope. The cytoplasm, on the other hand, surrounds the nucleus and is itself encircled by an even thinner membrane called the plasma membrane.
Within the cytoplasm are specialized cytoplasmic organelles that are suspended in the cytosol. These organelles perform specific functions that in a sense divide up the labor of the cell. The nucleus then takes on the job of directing the overall cellular activities.

It is the "brain" of the cell. It contains the genetic material. It has in it the Neutrons and Protons. The Neutrons are neutral, the Protons are positve and the Electrons around the nucleus are negative. This is what holds the neucleus together.
Opposite Forces atract, therefore the protons and electrons are pulled together.
The electrons are usually placed in the 2-8-8 rules. Two electrons in the first shell and 8 in the next and so on and so forth. The electrons in the last shell are called Valence Electrons and these are the electrons that coavantly bond.

Looks as if you have not been doing your homework. None of these are hard - put in some effort to find the answers either on the net, or in your textbook - Do your OWN homework and quit taking the easy way out of asking others to do your work! If I help you, will I be helping you to learn - NO. To get smarter yourself, you should be actually doing the work and not depending on those that have already done thier homework! Get busy and good luck in your studies!

This is cheating. The nuclues is the centre of a cell, aroud it is the nuclear membrane, and there is , Metachondria, golgi apparatus, cell wall. but this is cheating . Go to the Bio book's is not that hard to comprerhehd th e Heilex Look at DNA/ Dioxyruibliuc Acid. And . DNA Transfrerr's.

The nucleus contains DNA and is surrounded by a nuclear envelope. The main part in it is the nucleolus

It's sorta like the solar system, only much smaller. Change a few letters and it's mucous, which is easier to understand.
DON'T YOU HAVE A TEXT BOOK?

the nucleus is the center point of every thing, its the brain of the cell. its how the cell runns

the nucleus is like a burrito.
full of cheese, beans and chicken(or beef)
with your choice of salsa, guacamole or sour cream
all held together by a tortilla

ARE YOU A FKING RETARD? I mean WHO THE HELL would post such a STUPID question. You could have looked it up in your textbook or online in the same amount of time it took you to type this, you lazy asshole.
