- Holds deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in form of chromatin
- DNA is a double helix that make genes
- Genes are a complete set of instructions to make a complete product (typically proteins)
- `Genes`: one of the many sets of instructions, in your DNA, found on a **chromosome**, for making a functional product (mostly proteins)
- Chromatin is DNA wrapped tightly in protein
- Chromosomes are even more tightly wrapped chromatin used in cell division only
- Surrounded by a double membrane
- Substances enter and exit the nucleus via nuclear pores
- Messenger RNA (mRNA) is encoded from DNA and sent to ribosomes to produce proteins
### Nucleolus
- Dense region of DNA located in the nucleus
- This area of DNA is specially for ribosomal DNA (rDNA), or DNA used to make ribosomes

### Cytoplasm & Cytosol
- Cytosol is the fluid cells contain
- All organelles are suspended in cytosol
- Cytoplasm is the cytosol along with everything in a cell, excluding the nucleus
- Cytoplasm is the cytosol along with everything in a cell, excluding the nucleus
## Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs with a "rough" appearance because of the presence of ribosomes on the surface
### Function
- Protein synthesis
- About half of the cell's proteins are made here, by the ribosomes
- Protein movement
- Proteins are transported by vesicles throught the cell to other organelles, like the golgi apparatus
- Protein "Proof-Reading"
- pre-existing proteins are center the rough-ER for modification
