Which structure of animal cell keeps its cytoplasm from leaking out?

The plasma membrane (cell membrane) is the structure that surrounds and encloses the cytoplasm of an animal cell, keeping its contents contained. This phospholipid bilayer selectively controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, helping to maintain the internal environment of the cell.


What keeps DNA in the nucleus which is enclosed by its own membrane?

Its called the eukaryotic cell.


How is the nucleolus important?

The nucleolus, the largest formation inside a nucleus, is responsible for the creation of RNA, which along with DNA and proteins from the basis of all life. Furthermore, the nucleolus regulates the movement of RNA from the nucleus to the cell cytoplasm.


What does the nucleus membrane do?

The nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope is a double-bilayer fluid-filled selectively-permeable containment that surrounds the rest of a cell's nucleus. Within the envelope is nucleoplasm in which floats the chromatin and nucleolus; these hold the cell's genetic information and instructions in the form of DNA and RNA. When a cell is ready to divide by mitosis, the membrane decomposes to permit the nucleus to divide into two nuclei; then new membranes form to enclose the two new nuclei and cell division continues until two new complete cells are formed.It keeps the DNA all in one location. It only allows certain molecules and proteins within and without the cell. The membrane has pores that decide whether or not stuff can exit or enter the nucleus.It controls the movement of substances such as mRNA and nucleotides in and out of the nucleus.


What is a simple definition of cytoplasm?

The soup-like liquid that fills the cell. It keeps the organelles in place. Think of it like alphabet soup :) The letters are the organelles, and the actual soup is the cytoplasm!

What is the function of nuclear envelope in animal cell?

The nuclear envelope also serves as the physical barrier, separating the contents of the nucleus (DNA in particular) from the cytosol (cytoplasm) basically, keeps the DNA safe, and separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell

What does a cell membrane do for other cell?

the cell membrane prevents the nucleus cytoplasm and ...etc not to leak out of the cell .so it is a wall that keeps every thing inside the cell.EX:lets say its like a water balloon that keeps the water inside the balloon.

What is the function of a nuclear membrain?

The nuclear envelope (NE) (also known as the perinuclear envelope, nuclear membrane, nucleolemma orkaryotheca) is a double lipid bilayer that encloses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The nuclear envelope also serves as the physical barrier, separating the contents of the nucleus (DNA in particular) from the cytosol (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.(Copy and pasted from Wikipedia Answers)Otherwise, the Nuclear membrane is a barrier that separates contents of the nucleus and cytoplasm.
