The exact same thing that it does in animal cells. It directs the actions of the cell. Like a brain. It holds DNA information and chromosomes. It releases ribosomes, which are small, dark structures that float around in a cell. They create proteins. But the only difference between the nucleus in plant and animal cells is what it directs.

∙ 13y agoThe nucleus is the brain of the cell, it contains the packages of deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) known as chromosomes. The nucleus is usually in the center of the cell. The cells of plants and animals arenot that different when it come to the nucleus's function. The only difference between the 2 is that the animal cell does not have plastids or chloroplasts beause animal cells do not undergo photosynthesis. ----- A smart 14 yr old kid

Do plantae have a cell nucleus?
Cells in the kingdom plantae do have a nucleus. This is true for all Eukaryotic cells. Plant cells have an enclosed nucleus.
What kind of cells have a nucleus?
Both animal and plant cells have a nucleus.
Is it true bacterial cells do not have a nucleus?
Bacterial cells do have a nucleus. Basically all cells have a nucleus! Bacteria cells are just a different shape like plant cells. If cells didn't have a nucleus they wouldn't be able to work properly!

Does a plant have a nucleus in its cells?
yes. all cells (plant and animal) have a nucleus
Is nucleus found in a plant or animal cell?
Plant and animal cells have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus but most bacteria, that aren't eukaryotic, don't have a nucleus.
Is nucleus in animal cells or plant cells?
It is found in eukaryotic cells. Both animal and plant cells are eukaryotes, therefore the nucleus is found in both
Is a nucleus in an animal cell or plant cell?

All cells have a nucleus!

Yes, plant cells contain a nucleus.
Which cells contain plant cells and animal cells?
The nucleus
What cells hold a nucleus?
all eukaryotic cells (plant and animal cells). prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus (bacteria)
Is a nucleus a plant cell?
No. The nucleus is the part of the cell that holds the DNA. Plant cells have a nucleus, but a nucleus by itself is not a cell.
Is the nucleus found in animal or plant cells?
It is found in eukaryotic cells. Both animal and plant cells are eukaryotes, therefore the nucleus is found in both
Do plant cells have a small nucleus?
There are no exact sizes to nucleuses in plant cells.
