Chapter 2, Problem 1UC
Summary Introduction
To write:
An advantage of organelle compartmentalization.
Introduction:
Organelles are distinctive, extremely structured structures that perform specific cell tasks. The two kinds of organelles are seen in cells that are membranous and nonmembranous organelles. The membranous organelles are contained in a membrane, while nonmembranous organelles are not surrounded by a membrane.
