"small organ"; specialized structures preforming specialized functions found in eukaryotic cells
Subcellular structure in eukaryotic cells (e g plants and animals) providing specialized function within cells Organelles are separated from each other and the cytoplasm of the cell by membranes
a specialized part of a cell; analogous to an organ; "the first organelle to be identified was the nucleus"
A membrane-delimited compartment found inside eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria, the nucleus and vacuoles
In cell biology, this is any structure which occurs in cells and which has a specialized function
A membrane-bound structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is organised to perform a specific cellular function
An organelle is any part of a cell that has a unique structural, functional or anatomical role On a smaller scale, organelles are similar to the organs in your body - they are, in effect, the organs of a cell
an intracellular ("within" the cell) structure (cell "organ") that has a specific function and structure E g nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast A cell has many organelles, each performing a specific function for the whole cell, and without which the cell could not fully function
(1920): a specialized cellular part (as a mitochondrion, lysosome, or ribosome) that is analogous to an organ This is where the conversion within the cell of nutrients (such as sugar molecules) into chemical energy in the form of ATP, by reacting the food with oxygen (O2) until the food has completely been degraded into carbon dioxide and H2O
A membrane-enclosed body specialized for carrying out certain functions; found only in eukaryotic cells
Membrane-bound structure in a eukaryotic cell Organelles partition the cell into regions which carry out different cellular functions Mitochondria, the ER, and lysosomes are examples of organelles
The structures in eukaryotic cells, notably chloroplasts and mitochondria, specialized structures that carry out respiration, photosynthesis and other functions in the cell
Literally, the term means "little organs " Inside a cell, there are various little structures that perform specific functions, much like the multicellular organs of our body do In the cell, these include generating energy (the organelle is the mitochondrion), making proteins (the organelles are ribosomes and Golgi apparatus), and others
Organelles are independent, distinct , membrane-bounded structures or compartments within a eukaryotic cell which perform specific tasks for the overall success and well being of the cell The specific funtions of organelles vary widely and typically depend on their proximity within the cell as well as their physical characteristics
