What Separates the Nucleus from the Cytoplasm?
In the eukaryotic cell, the nucleus is separated from the cytoplasm by a double lipid bilayer membrane known as a nuclear membrane. It encloses the genetic material of a cell. It is also known as karyotheca.

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell is enclosed by the nuclear membrane, which protects the cell’s genetic material. It is also known as the nuclear envelope. This membrane is a lipid bilayer that permits the selective entry and exit of biomolecules through nuclear pores. Damage to this membrane often results in cell death.
In prokaryotic cells, a well-defined nucleus does not exist. Instead, generic material is present in a structure known as a nucleiod. The nucleiod is arranged into a loose structure by the action of certain proteins but is not enclosed by any membrane.
