The nucleolus, a region within the nucleus lacking a membrane, is responsible for synthesizing ribosomal components.
The nucleolus, located within the nucleus, is a dense region without a membrane where ribosomal RNA and proteins assemble to form ribosomal subunits.
| Front | Nucleolus |
|---|---|
| Back | - region inside nucleus - no membrane - have bits of chromatin and unfinished ribosomes - synthesizes ribosome parts |
