The nucleolus requires ribosomal RNA (rRNA), proteins, and assembly factors to perform its primary function of ribosome biogenesis. It synthesizes rRNA and combines it with ribosomal proteins imported from the cytoplasm to form the ribosomal subunits. Additionally, the nucleolus needs a suitable environment, including specific nucleolar organizer regions within chromosomes, to facilitate these processes effectively. Overall, it plays a critical role in cellular protein synthesis.
