Detailed explanation-1: -An organelle (think of it as a cell’s internal organ) is a membrane bound structure found within a cell. Just like cells have membranes to hold everything in, these mini-organs are also bound in a double layer of phospholipids to insulate their little compartments within the larger cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organelles. Organelles are specialized structures that perform various tasks inside cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Besides the nucleus, two other organelles-the mitochondrion and the chloroplast-play an especially important role in eukaryotic cells. These specialized structures are enclosed by double membranes, and they are believed to have originated back when all living things on Earth were single-celled organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -At a simple level, cells are membrane-bound structures that include smaller sub-structures or organelles. Each of these organelles performs a specific function and shows characteristic morphologies, though these vary from organism to organism.
