Compartementalization is important because a cell's compartments provide different local environments that accomodate specific metabolic processes. This allows for incompatible process to go on simultaneously inside the same cell.
It is the division of function and separation of antagonizing components within living cells.
Within all living cells are different organelles which are in analogy, equivalent to the organs of the human body. While the levels of division may differ, for instance, simpler eukaryotic cells may only contain the nuclei and a few other organelles. Each division or organelle has its own distinct function or purpose. Despite these distinctions, the cell remains highly interconnected.
For example, the endoplasmic reticulum has a function that differs from the golgi apparatus, however, vesicles containing premature proteins must transit to both organelles in order to become mature.
Compartmentalization also separates antagonizing or the existence of harmful reactions. For example, the presence of hydrogen peroxide, as a reaction by-product, must be secluded in membrane-bound vesicles so as not to destroy surrounding material. Another example, is the separation of oxidizing material vs. reducing material. Under few circumstances should they be in the same space as a result of their potentially destructive reactions.
Cell compartmentalization is when organisms are separated, at the level of cells, bodies, or even communities, into separate volumes. This allows otherwise incompatible processes can take place.
Even though the cells in the human body are small, don't let that fool you. Just like the home that you live in, a cell has membranes that separate different rooms..or compartments. For example, the bathroom in your home, consider that a vacuole, and the kitchen, consider that the mitochondria. Let's see, where do the Christmas presents get wrapped...The den, consider that the Golgi apparatus.
Cells (and organelles within cells) are compartmentalised by a phospholipid bilayer to prevent unwanted interaction e.g. hydrolase is bound to a vesicle so that it can't hydrolyse (break down via addition of H2O) things that are necessary for life processes.
Cells are also compartmentalised in order to maintain a high surface area:volume ratio which is necessary for the passive diffusion of gasses into and out of cells. Organisms have to differentiate cells into specialised tissue in order to maintain this SA:V ratio, this is why organisms can't simply become bigger and bigger cells.
The organelles within a cell have different specific functions from one another. The functions can range to a simple protection up to complex functions such as breaking down of sugar to be release as energy.
I want to know about compartmentalization in food preservation technique
All things that are living contain at least one cell, and all cells contain organelles, although some are much more complex than others. So, in order for something to not have organelles it would have to be something non-living, like water or a rock.
A living cell is not a simple geometric shape like a sphere or a cube. What sort of weird cell shape might increase the ratio of surface area to volume Would you be able to test this more complex shape?
yes! living systems are more complex than non-living systems
A living cell is b living organism because basically the word living cell says it all

d) all
compartmentalization of enzymes into defined organelles
complex living things grow from just one cell
Golgi complex are present in a living cell. It is present in the cytoplasm of the cell. There number may vary depending on the cell type.In prokaryotic organisms they are without their outer membrane.There main function is the transport of Ribosomes throughout the cell.
How could the structure and function of the cell be used to support evolutionary theory

Protoplasm is the living contents of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma that the cell contents are structurally very complex and contain multiple organelles.
Plasma membrane is a living structure because it performs many functions similar to living cells. For example - compartmentalization transport signal transduction enzyme catalysis organization of enzymes
No. At the time of conception (when sperm joins with egg) a human zygote is a single cell, but at the time of birth a human is a complex multicellular organism.
