Cell organelles work together to maintain
A
homeostasis
B
eukarya
C
prokarya
D
organisms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Organelles work together to maintain homeostasis by each performing different jobs that keep the cell alive. This division of labor helps keep the cell in balance, and different organelles rely on each other for their products. For example, the mitochondria make energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sensors, integrating center, and effectors are the basic components of every homeostatic response. Positive and negative feedback are more complicated mechanisms that enable these three basic components to maintain homeostasis for more complex physiological processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis is maintained by a series of control mechanisms functioning at the organ, tissue or cellular level. These control mechanisms include substrate supply, activation or inhibition of individual enzymes and receptors, synthesis and degradation of enzymes, and compartmentalization.

Detailed explanation-4: -The functional interactions between cellular organelles, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, endosomes, and lysosomes, in maintaining normal function and prevention of disease are becoming increasingly apparent.
