Nuclear outer membrane is continuous with:

Correct answer: A. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

  • A. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
  • B. Golgi Apparatus
  • C. Centrioles
  • D. Lysosomes

Explanation

The nuclear outer membrane is directly continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER is an extensive network of membranes that plays a key role in protein and lipid synthesis. This continuity allows for the transport of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The other options, such as the Golgi Apparatus, centrioles, and lysosomes, are not directly connected to the nuclear membrane and serve different functions within the cell.

About Cell Structure and Function

Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
