What advantages could there be of compartmentalizing cellular process into various organelles?

One of the reasons that there are even organelles is that, long ago, some cells began to work with other cells. This is called a symbiotic relationship. Both cells benefited by the arrangement. The smaller cell became an organelle. Some still retain their own DNA.
Sometimes it seems rather confusing as to why things are the way that they are. If we were making cells today, we probably would find a better way and better working way to do it.
But, ancient cells had to work with what was at hand. Having organelles seem to work better in compartments. Actually the eukaryotic cell works like a factory which usually makes proteins. Each organelle has its' own job.

What cellular organelle is in invovled in the process of photosynthesis?
Chloroplasts are the organelles involved in photosynthesis.
One of the organelles in the eukaryote releases energy from sugars What is this process called?
Cellular respiration.
What organelles are used in order to break down food for ATP?
You are referring to the process of cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. Aerobic cellular respiration starts in the cytoplasm, and is completed in the mitochondria.
Which cellular organelle is required for photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells?
The organelles necessary for photosynthesis in plants are chloroplasts. They hold the chlorophyll that is a necessary part of the process.
What name is used to describe the parts of a cell that carries out the cells life process?
There are many parts of a cell that carry out life processes. These include the various organelles. You should look up information on cellular organelles at some valid site online
Which organelles are involve in the process called endocytosis?
Which organelles are involved in the process called endocytosis?
Why are mitochondria and chloroplast so important?
As double-membrane bound organelles, mitochondria are major to animals functions in cellular respiration and chloroplasts are a major aspect to a plant's photosynthesis process.
Why does photosynthesis occur only in plant cells?
Plant cells contain organelles called chloroplasts that form the epicentre of the photosynthetic process. These organelles contain a pigment called chlorophyll that aid in this process. Plants use this process to convert energy absorbed from light to chemical energy which can be used for growth and a variety of other cellular processes. Animals on the other hand, do not have cells containing chloroplasts. They have organelles called mitochondria that produce energy.
What organelle converts glucose to energy by the process of cellular respiration?
Mitochondria are specialized organelles that produce energy for the rest of the cell by using glucose. You can think of it as the powerhouse of the cell.
Are lysosomes proteins?
Lysosomes are rich in hydrolytic enzymes that can lyse ecery biomolecules including proteins. lysosomes are membrane bound organelles that has proteins in it. they are involved in cellular process such as phagocytosis, autophagy, clearing cellular debris, cell death etc.
What is is the process of cell organelles?
Two organelles are involved. They are cytoplasm and mitochondria
What cellular process is carried out in a cells mitochondria?
cellular respiration Mitochondria are energy organelles. In a series of steps, cellular respiration breaks down the bonds in glucose molecules and stores the resulting energy in bonds of ATP.
