Identify the structure above. What kinds of cells have this structure? What is its function and how is this
function performed? What is the function of the nucleolus? How do molecules get in and out of the nucleus?
“Double Barrel” structures above are called centrioles. What kinds of cells have this structure? What is its
function and how is this function performed?
