Like several organelles in the eukaryotic cell, the nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. Each membrane is a distinct lipid bilayer. The inner membrane contains the nucleoplasm, while the outer membrane functions in conjunction with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). read more
The nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane, is made up of two lipid bilayer membranes which surrounds the nucleus, and in eukaryotic cells it encases the genetic material. The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayer membranes, an inner nuclear membrane, and an outer nuclear membrane. read more
