What is organelle helps maintain homeostasis?

Re: What Organelles help maintain homeostasis? At the microscopic stage, in the basic unit of life (Cell). Homeostasis is maintained by the cell membrane. As the cell consumes oxygen,water, and energy. The waste products of excess water CO2 must be expelled. All the cells release the by-product and is released through breathing. To simply put it it's a human's transpiration. Nearly every organ in the human body helps maintain homeostasis. But the most important ones are kidney and liver. Even though the skin is the largest organ in your body. For example, liver plays a very vital role in keeping the body temperature within a safe limit.
