The nucleus contains DNA, which controls metabolic activities by triggering protein synthesis; it's protected by a double membrane with pores, and the nucleolus produces rRNA for ribosomes.

| Front | Nucleus 2.1.1(g) |
|---|---|
| Back | -Contains DNA which triggers protein synthesis and translation, proteins required for metabolism, so DNA controls metabolic activities -DNA contained within nuclear envelope(double membrane) for protection, nuclear pores allow subsrances to enter and leave -Nucleolus contains proteins and RNA, rna forms rRNA which combines with proteins to form ribosomes -DNA associates with proteins called histones to form complex called chromatin, coils and condenses into chromosones |
