You may have seen leeks at the grocery store and wondered what sort of vegetable they were. Well, leeks are part of the onion family and, in fact, look like a giant version of green onions. However, the little green onion has a much stronger onion flavor then the leek. Another difference is that you need to cook leeks before eating them. Unlike an onion, you would not add an uncooked leek to a salad!
Nuclear Pore. Quick look:A nuclear pore is a minute opening or passage way through the nuclear envelope. It connects the nucleoplasm (nucleus) with the cytoplasm. The opening is âpluggedâ with an amazing biological valve that only permits selected chemicals to move into and out of the nucleus.
Except at pores, it is lined by nuclear lamina, a netlike array of protein filaments that maintain shape of nucleus by supporting nuclear envelope. 2 places genes are found in animal cells, and 3 places they are found in plant cells.
