1. Identify and describe the functions of the nuclear envelope
2. Describe the structure of the nuclear envelope.
3. Analyze how Lamin proteins play a role in nuclear structure.
1)-function of nuclear envelope -The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleuswith a double membrane with multiple pores. The pores regulate the passage of macromolecules like proteins and RNA, but permit free passage of water, ions, ATP and other small molecules.
2)-structure of nuclear envelope- the nuclear envelope is composed of two concentric lipid bilayer membranes separated by intermembrae space. It is double membrane structure.
3)-the lamin protein provides support for maintaining the shape of the nucleus.
