Which is larger the nucleus of a cell or the nucleus of an atom?

As far as I know there is no real significant difference. Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells. The simple fact that they have a nucleus separates them from prokaryotic cells. The only significant differences between the two cells I am aware of, is animal cells lack chloroplasts which enables the plant to utilize sunlight for glucose synthesis, and cell walls which gives plant cells extra support, which they need considering the high amount of osmotic pressure within the cells required to bring water and other nutrients from the roots up, against gravity, to the leaves. Plant cells also tend to have one large vacuole for stored products as opposed to the many smaller vacuoles in animal cells. I'm a senior Biology student at a university.

∙ 12y agoThe nucleus of an atom is the centre of the atom, a collection of positively charged protons and neutrons (that have no charge).
The nucleus of a cell is an enclosed area which contains the genetic information of the cell.
Atoms make up elements, which are found in all matter.
Cells are the fundamental unit of life.

∙ 11y agoThey are both the same. In fact, you even spelled them right.
If you mean 'What is the difference between nucleus and nucleolus?' , the answer is :
Nucleus:
1. It is a large spherical structure present in the cell.
2. It is bounded by nuclear envelope.
3. It contains chromosomes.
4. It is rich in DNA, the genetic material.
Nucleolus:
1. It is very small and is present inside the nucleus.
2. It has no limiting membrane.
3. It does not possess any chromosome, but is organized on one chromosome(Nucleolar organiser).
4. It is rich in RNA.
5. It is involved in ribosome synthesis.

Is there one protons and nucleus in atom?
Yes, all atoms have a nucleus! The Nucleus is the part of the atom which holds the Protons and Neutrons, the Electrons orbit the "atomic nucleus". The atomic nucleus is different to the nucleus of a cell, which holds genetic information and allows the cell to operate. Answer above provided by Runehally16.

What is a description of a nucleus?
Nucleus of An AtomThe nucleus of an atom is a dense region consisting of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is found in the center of an atom. More than 99% of the atom's mass is found in the nucleus.Nucleus of a CellA cell's nucleus contains much of the genetic material. Most people think of the nucleus as the "brain" of a cell. Inside the nucleus is the nucleolus, which produces ribosomes.
