In eukaryotic cells it is the nucleus that contains DNA. In prokaryotes it floats around in the cytoplasm

Which organelle contains most of the cells genetic material and directs most of the cell activities?
The nucleus is often referred to as the 'brain' of a cell, because this is where the DNA is found. The instructions for the production of functional products are contained within the nucleus, and so it is responsible for a large part of a cell's activities.
What organelle produces the most atp?
Mitochondria. Their surplus is used by the rest of the cell.
What is is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound internal organelles. basically this means that eukaryotic cells organelles do not float around but have a specific spot in the cell. the organelles in a eukaryotic cell are each surrounded by a membrane isolating the organelle from the rest of the organelles. prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and do not have membrane-bound internal organelles. basically this means that prokaryotic cells have SOME organelles but the organelles that they do have float around. Most prokaryotes are single-celled organisms such as bacteria.
Do chromosomes only occur in egg and sperm cells?
No, sex cells just have 1/2 the chromosomes of the rest of cells.
In what organelle is cellular respiration completed?
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria and the cytoplasm. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, but the rest of the cycle occurs in the mitochondria.
What organelle contain DNA and uses it to control the rest of the cell?
nucleus
What do you call the part of the cell that controls the rest of the cells?
The nucleus is the cell's control center. It contains genetic material which allows the nucleus to control the chemical reactions taking place in the cytoplasm. The nucleus is also responsible for cell reproduction.
What does a nucleas do in a cell?
it is the control centre of a cell. it contains DNA. the rest isn't particularly important.

What is organelle of animal cells carry out cell respiration?
The mitochondria are the organelles that carry out aerobic cellular respiration. The initial step, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm, but the rest takes place in the mitochondria. Mitochondria occur in all eukaryotic cells, not just animal cells.
What organelle has different DNA than the rest of the cell?
Mitochondrion
What organelle is visible in an onion cells under a microscope?
Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, cell wall, chloroplasts. The spelling might be wrong but the rest is correct :)
What organelle also stores DNA?
The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a cell and this DNA is called the chromosomal DNA. It is separated from the rest of the cell by a double layer of membrane. The mitochondria also contain DNA, called the mitochondrial DNA.
What organelle produces the most atp?
Mitochondria. Their surplus is used by the rest of the cell.
What are specialized structures in a cell that perform specific functions?
Organelle. Organelles are usually separate from the rest of the cell, and enclosed by a lipid bilayer. There is a wide variety of organelles, especially in eukaryotic cells.
What organelle would be in a toucan's organsm's cell?
Toucans are eukaryotes, so the same organelles you have would be in their cells. Nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, ribosomes ( not membrane bound ) and all the rest of the membrane bound organelles.
Where did the rest of your cells come from?
from pre-existing cells.
