Many enzymes are in or associated with membranes. Di erent local environments of compartments facilitate speci c metabolic functions. Pores in nuclear envelope allow passage of some macromolecules. Nuclear lamina proteins maintain shape of nuclear envelope. Nucleus contains most of cell"s genetic material - chromosomes. Two molecules of ribosomal rna (rrna) plus proteins.
