What are some characteristics of membrane bounded organelles?
Can you explain to me what membrane bounded organelles are and what are their characteristics?
Sure! Membrane bounded organelles are compartments within a cell that are enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane. They are distinct from the rest of the cell and have specific functions. Some examples include the nucleus, mitochondria, and lysosomes. One of their main characteristics is that they are surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane which helps to maintain their structure and separate their contents from the rest of the cell.
