In addition to providing structural support and preserving the shape of the nucleus, the primary roles of the nuclear membrane are to separate the nucleus from the cytoplasm and control the passage of molecules between the two. The nuclear membrane is porous, allowing certain materials to pass through freely, but it also has pores that control the movement of molecules, ensuring that only specific substances are allowed to enter or exit the nucleus.
