Would you find a nucleolus in a plant or animal cell?

You would find a nucleolus in both plant and animal cells. The nucleolus is involved in the production of ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis in the cell.


Is the nucleolus part of a animal cell or a plant cell?

The nucleus is part of both the plant and animal cells.


What structure contains the nucleolus?

A Nucleus; inside of a cell; inside of a plant or animal cell; inside of a plant or animal; you can take it from ther. :) :)


Where is the nucleolus found in a plant's cell?

Yes. [Bacteria (eubacteria and archaebacteria) don't.] Yes, there is a nucleus in a plant cell. Plant cells have some similar characteristics as the animal cell, like having a nucleus. The nucleus contains the genetic code, encoded in the DNA. The nucleus has a nuclear membrane to protect it. If the cell is like a factory producing proteins, then the nucleus is like the managers office and the central computer - it has all the information and blueprints for the proteins that have to be manufactured. However the question is "Is a nucleolus found in plant cells?" The nucleolus and the nucleus are not the same. The nucleolus is a specialised region inside the nucleus, which contains the genetic code for ribosomes. Ribosomes are special structures which make proteins. So the answer is yes, a nucleolus is found within the nucleus of a plant cell.


What is the purpose of a nucleolus in an animal cell?

The nucleolus is responsible for assembling ribosomal subunits, which are essential for protein synthesis in the cell. It is involved in the production of ribosomes, which are the cell's protein-manufacturing machinery.
