In eukaryotic cells, the term "nuclear envelope" is more correct than the term "nuclear membrane" for the enclosure around nucleus because:
1. the enclosure has pores which membranes do not
2. the enclosure is made up of two membranes
3. the chemical composition is inconsistent with cellular membranes
4. the enclosure does not enclose the nucleolus

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In 1838, Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist, examined a large number of plants and observed that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of the plant cells.
Statement II: In 1839, Theodor Schwann, a British Zoologist, studied different types of animal cells and reported that cells had a thin outer layer which is today known as the ‘plasma membrane’.
