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.

Do both plant and animal cells have a nucleus?

Yes, both animal and plant cells have a nucleus.


Is a nucleus found in plant and animal cells?

Yes. Virtually all cells have a nucleus, especially in organisms that can be seen without a microscope. The nucleus is like the brain of the cell that tells the cell how to operate. The nucleus also contains the genetic material that tells the cell how it should develop and tells how to make new cells.


Does a tree have a nucleus?

No, trees do not have a nucleus. A nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells such as animal and plant cells, responsible for controlling cell functions and containing genetic material. Trees are made up of complex cells called plant cells, but they do not have a nucleus like animal cells do.


Does plant cells have a nucleus?

Yes. Plant cells are eukariotic which means they have a nucleus, opposed to prokariotic cells with no nucleus like bacteria. The only main differences between a plant cell and an animal cell is that a plant cells has a cell wall, chloroplast, a bigger vacuole, and no lysosomes. Also when a animal cell dies it is broken down, but a plant cell's cell wall stays to provide structure even after its dead. So all plant cells have a nucleus.


Does a plant cell have only one nucleus?

Most plant cells have one nucleus, but there are exceptions. For example, some plant cells may have multiple nuclei due to a process called endoreduplication. Additionally, certain mature plant cells may lack a nucleus altogether, such as red blood cells in some plants.

No, not all cells have a cell wall and nucleus. Animal cells lack a cell wall but have a nucleus, while plant cells have both a cell wall and a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, lack a nucleus and have a cell wall made of different materials than plant cells.
