C

D
biocenter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An organelle is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell, much like an organ does in the body. Among the more important cell organelles are the nuclei, which store genetic information; mitochondria, which produce chemical energy; and ribosomes, which assemble proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Organelles serve specific functions within eukaryotes, such as energy production, photosynthesis, and membrane construction. Most are membrane-bound structures that are the sites of specific types of biochemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a double membrane-bound, sausage-shaped organelle, found in almost all eukaryotic cells. The double membranes divide its lumen into two distinct aqueous compartments. The inner compartment is called a ‘matrix’ which is folded into cristae whereas the outer membrane forms a continuous boundary with the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Golgi apparatus (or, Golgi body) Cytoskeleton. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organelles are specialized structures that perform various jobs inside cells. The term literally means “little organs.” In the same way organs, such as the heart, liver, stomach, and kidneys, serve specific functions to keep an organism alive, organelles serve specific functions to keep a cell alive.
