An organ is a group of tissues joined together to perform a specific function, such as a heart, lung or kidney. This is composed of many, many cells.
An organelle is a small structure found within a cell that performs a specific function. This includes ribosomes and mitochondria.

What is the Difference between organelle and organ system?
An organ is a collection of cells that perform a function (liver, skin, muscles) whereas an organelle is something INSIDE a cell which performs a function for the cell (ribosome, mitochondria)
What are the relationships between organelles in an animal cell?
The parts of an animal cell are called organelles because they are the organs of a animal cell.
Is the difference between tissues and organs?
the difference between tissues and organs is that the tissues make up the organs and the tissues are made up of cells.
What is the difference between tissue and organs?
the difference between tissues and organs is that the tissues make up the organs and the tissues are made up of cells.
Which organelles are microscopic?
All of them. Organelles are like the 'organs' of cells.
What are the tiny organs are in a cell?
Tiny organs in a cell are called organelles (organ-like). This includes the nucleus, Golgi body, mitochondria and others.
What is the difference between a cell and a corpuscle?
a corpuscle doesn't have a nucleus or organelles, while a cell does.
What is the difference between the body's organs and systems?
The difference between cells, tissues, organs, and body systems are that many cells make tissues, many tissues make organs, and many organs make body systems.
Can a plant survive without organs?
First of all, they're not called organs. they are called organelles. And no, they cannot. a plant needs organelles just as much as you need your organs.
What is different between tissues and organs?
the difference between tissues and organs is that the tissues make up the organs and the tissues are made up of cells.
What is the difference between eukaryotic and Prokaryotic?
A prokaryotic cell is a primitive cell consisting of a cell membrane, flagella, and a small number of other organelles. (Humans have organs such as the heart and liver which are necessary, just like cells have organelles necessary to function) A eukaryotic cell is about fifteen times the size of a prokaryote and contains a vast number of organelles whereas the prokaryote only caries a handful. The most distinguishing difference between these two types of cells is that the eukaryote has a cell nucleus and a prokaryote does not.
Which describes a difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Eukaryotes have membranes around their organelles.
