Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
which is NOT an example of an organelle?
A
mitochondrion
B
nucleus
C
heart
D
cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytoplasm of a cell is not an organelle. It is a jelly like substance present between the nucleus and the cell membrane of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of organelles are the nucleus (a structure that contains the cell’s chromosomes and is where RNA is made), mitochondria (structures that make energy for the cell), and lysosomes (sac-like containers filled with enzymes that digest and help recycle molecules in the cell).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cardiac muscle cells also contain mitochondria, which many people call “the powerhouses of the cells.” These are organelles that convert oxygen and glucose into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cardiac muscle cells appear striated or striped under a microscope.

Detailed explanation-4: -Within the nucleus is a small subspace known as the nucleolus. It is not bound by a membrane, so it is not an organelle. This space forms near the part of DNA with instructions for making ribosomes, the molecules responsible for making proteins.
