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

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -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-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -These organelles communicate with one another through vesicular trafficking pathways and membrane contact sites (MCSs). MCSs are sites of close apposition between two or more organelles that play diverse roles in the exchange of metabolites, lipids and proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria also helps maintain the environment of the cell (homeostasis) to keep the best conditions for optimum function. This is achieved by the storage and release of free calcium. Both cellular proliferation and cell division are regulated by mitochondria.
