Nucleus
Function:The nucleus is usually located around the center of the cell connected to the endoplasmic reticulum as part of the endomembrane system. The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes). The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane. ribosome ­ small organelles composed of
RNA­rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.It nucleus includes the: nucleolus, chromatin, and the nuclear envelope which have a variety of other functions. Relation to protein synthesis: nucleus produces the sequence of amino acids that form a protein, the DNA in the nucleus undergoes some processes like translation and transcription through which the sequence is formed and finally create the proteins Physical description:The nucleus regulates the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm through the use of messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA is a transcribed DNA segment that serves as a template for protein production.

Nucleolus
The nucleolus is a round body located inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. It is not surrounded by a membrane, but sits in the nucleus. The nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It then sends the subunits out to the rest of the cell where they combine into complete ribosomes. Function: The nucleolus makes ribosomal subunits from proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
It then sends the subunits out to the rest of the cell where they combine into complete ribosomes. Relation to protein synthesis: Ribosomes that are created by the nucleolus are a site of protein
synthesis.

    In addition, important reactions for interpreting the genetic instructions occur in the nucleus. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an extensive, membranous intracellular “plumbing” system that is critical for the production of new proteins. The “rough ER” has a rough appearance because it is studded with ribosomes that are making proteins. The rough ER is contiguous with the “smooth ER,” the site of lipid production.…

    Nucleolus is one of the most essential elements of the nucleus. It is a tiny spherical shape at the innermost portion of the cell nucleus, non-membranous, minute organelles that is composed of protein and RNA and associated with the formation of ribosomes (cell structures where protein synthesis takes place) and ribosomal RNA (ribonucleic acid) and the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The main function of nucleolus is the production and assembling of subunits which together form the cell organelle called ribosomes. The ribosomes are a site for proteins synthesis; which is why the nucleolus plays an indirect but crucial role in the synthesis of protein. The nucleolus carries out 50% of the total production of RNA which takes place in cells. This functionality is attributed to hundreds of r-genes present in the nucleolus.…
