A nuclear membrane (also known as the nuclear envelope, nucleolemma or karyotheca) is a double lipid bilayer that encloses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear membrane also serves as the physical barrier, separating the contents of the nucleus (DNA in particular) from the cytoplasm. Many nuclear pores are inserted in the nuclear envelope, which facilitate and regulate the exchange of materials (proteins such as transcription factors, and RNA) between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.

One of the most significant nuclear membrane function in a cell is to regulate in and out movement of only specific substances. Nuclear membranesplant cells prevents the nucleus from collapsing and hence it's effective in holding nucleus together. For transporting materials in and out of nucleus, nuclear membrane acts as a security check. In the process of mitosis and meiosis, nuclear membrane function is to regulate transport of minerals between nucleus and cytoplasm. In several eukaryotic cells, when closed mitosis takes place, chromosomes in the cell nucleus undergo division in two similar nuclei.

Is there a cell membrane in an animal cell and plant cell?

Yes, both animal cells and plant cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell.


What structure in an animal cell performs a function similar to the cell wall in a plant cell.?

The cell membrane. However, a plant's cell wall is rigid while the cell membrane is not. Plant cells also have a cell membrane.The cell membrane protects the cell and holds it together.(Plant cells have them too, however. One of their main functions is to regulate what comes in and goes out of the cell).
