Immature dragonflies have six spindly legs, and a body that is only a few times longer than it is wide. They have two fairly big eyes. Some of their mouthparts are modified to shoot forward and grab prey.
An organelle is a tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell. Organelles are embedded within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In the more complex eukaryotic cells, organelles are often enclosed by their own membrane. Analogous to the body's internal organs, organelles are specialized and perform valuable functions necessary for normal cellular operation.
An organelle is a unique part of a cell that has a specific function. The term is a combination of the word organum, which means instrument or engine, and the suffix -elle, which means... An organelle is a unique part of a cell that has a specific function. The term is a combination of the word organum, which means instrument or engine, and the suffix -elle, which means small. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are surrounded by a membrane of plasma that contains cytoplasm, which contains organelles and fluid. The organelles themselves are one of the most important cell components and aid in the overall function of the particular type of cells. Examples of organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, which each have a specific function within the cell. Not all cells contain every type of organelle since some are very specialized.
