  2. Nuclear envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_envelope

    The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayer membranes: an inner nuclear membrane and an outer nuclear membrane. [4] The space between the membranes is called the perinuclear space. It is usually about 10–50 nm wide. [5] [6] The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. [4]

  3. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and like that structure, features ribosomes attached to the surface. The outer membrane is also continuous with the inner nuclear membrane since the two layers are fused together at numerous tiny holes called nuclear pores that perforate the nuclear envelope.

  4. Cell nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus

    Diagram of the nucleus showing the ribosome-studded outer nuclear membrane, nuclear pores, DNA (complexed as chromatin), and the nucleolus. The nucleus contains nearly all of the cell's DNA, surrounded by a network of fibrous intermediate filaments called the nuclear matrix, and is enveloped in a double membrane called the nuclear envelope.

  5. Nucleoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoplasm

    It is enclosed by the nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane. [2] The nucleoplasm resembles the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell in that it is a gel-like substance found within a membrane, although the nucleoplasm only fills out the space in the nucleus and has its own unique functions.

  6. Membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane

    Membrane components than can be recycled (thermoplastics): PP, polyester, etc. Membrane sheets: constructed from a number of different polymers and additives and therefore inherently difficult to accurately and efficiently separate. Main advantage: it displaces virgin plastic production.

  7. Eukaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote

    The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane known as the nuclear envelope, with nuclear pores that allow material to move in and out. [26] Various tube- and sheet-like extensions of the nuclear membrane form the endoplasmic reticulum , which is involved in protein transport and maturation.

  8. Glossary of cellular and molecular biology (M–Z) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_cellular_and...

    A complex of membrane proteins that creates an opening in the nuclear envelope through which certain molecules and ions are permitted to pass and thereby enter or exit the nucleus (analogous to the channel proteins in the cell membrane). The nuclear envelope typically has thousands of pores to selectively regulate the exchange of specific ...

  9. Cytoplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm

    The cytoplasm describes all the material within a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell, enclosed by the cell membrane, including the organelles [1] and excluding the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. The material inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and contained within the nuclear membrane is termed the nucleoplasm.
