The nucleolus is a dense, membrane-less structure within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells responsible for ribosome biogenesis. It synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembles it with proteins to form ribosomal subunits, which are then transported to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. The nucleolus also plays a role in regulating the cell cycle and responding to cellular stress. Its size and activity can vary depending on the cell's metabolic demands.
