The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer while the organelle membranes are usually a single layer of lipids. The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts are the exception and have a lipid bilayer. AS you see, it depends on which organelle. The nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts have a bilayer (2). The others have one.

Is nucleus a non membranous organelle?

No, the nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material of a cell, such as DNA. It is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm of the cell.


What cell organelle synthesizes the nuclear membrane?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes membranes.


What do scientists use for any part of a cell enclosed by a membrane?

If it's inside the cell membrane and also enclosed in another membrane, it's an organelle. Not all organelles necessarily have membranes, but anything in a cell with a membrane would be an organelle. I would imagine you could call it a membranous organelle to be specific.


What structure in the cells are surrounded by membranes?

all cell organelle are membrane bounded especially in eukaryotes

A cellular organelle that possess a membrane?

The mitochondria is a cellular organelle that possesses a membrane. It is known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. The mitochondria has two membranes, an outer membrane and an inner membrane, which encloses the matrix where ATP production occurs.


Are both chloroplasts and mitochondria bounded by two membranes?

Yes. The outer membrane is similar to modern eukaryotic membranes, such as the plasma membranes of animals and plants. The inner membrane is similar to modern prokaryotic membranes, found in bacteria. This difference has been taken as one piece of evidence to support the theory of the endosymbiotic origin of these two organelles, i.e. the idea that each of these organelles formed originally from the engulfing of a prokaryotic cell by a eukaryotic one.


What do the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane have in common?

Both the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane are lipid bilayers that separate the internal environment from the external environment. They both regulate the transport of molecules in and out of the cell/organelle, and help maintain the overall structure and function of the cell/organelle.


What is the structure of a mitochondrion?

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It has two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. This folding increases the surface are inside the organelle.


Which organelle appears as a stack of membrane?

The organelle that appears as a stack of membrane is the Golgi apparatus. It is responsible for processing, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport within the cell or secretion outside of the cell.


What organelle has a double layer of phospholipids that is selectively permeable?

Mitochondria is double membraned!It is known as power house of cell it contain enzymes for production of energy by respiration.


What organelle is surrounded by a double membrane?

Mitochondria are the only organelle in a cell which is surrounded by a double layered membrane. Also chloroplast in plants are surrounded by double layered membrane.
