Energy and nutrients are transferred to ATP
question
What does the nuclear membrane do
answer
Keeps DNA inside the nucleus and protects it from materials in the cytoplasm
question

answer
Contains genetic material/ ribosome production
question
What is the cell membrane
answer
Composed of lipids and proteins
Allows things to pass in and out

question
Difference between smooth ER and rough ER
answer
Smooth is smooth and rough is rough
