An organelle is a structure found within the cytoplasm of a plant or animal cell - in other words they are discrete sub-cellular components with specific functions
The following organelles are found in eukaryotic, not prokaryotic, cells:
- Nucleus
- Mitochondria
- Chloroplast (plant cells only)

What does not have a organelles?
Organelles are in every cell. Virus do not have organelles.
Which organelles have less mitochondria?
Mitochondria are organelles and have no organelles of their own. They are inside a cell with other membrane bound organelles.
What are tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell called?
Organelles
Does euglena have a endoplasmic reticulum?
It´s an eukaryote, meaning it has a nucleus, so yes. All eukaryotes have organelles, one of which is the ER.
What are the characteristics of bacteria?
Characteristics of bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning they do not have membrane bound organelles, peptidoglycan cell wall, and asexual reproduction, meaning they only need themselves to multiply.
What is a good cell that has all the organelles meaning it has a nucleus a nucleolus ribosomes mitochondrian and vacoules etc?
Almost all eukaryotic cells have all of the organelles. A prokaryotic cell or prokaryote doesn't have nuclei or enclosed structures for the organelles. I hope this helps.
What a major characteristics distinguish eubacteria from protista?
Eubacteria are prokaryotic, meaning that they lack a nucleus or organelles bound to the membrane. Protists are eukaryotic, meaning that they do have the nucleus.

How is prokrayotic cell different from a eukaryotic cell?
•Prokaryotic - no nucleus and organelles •Eukaryotic - nucleus and organelles (mitochondria, etc.) The word prokaryote means before the "nut". Nut meaning nucleus. Eukaryote means new "nut".
Do virus have organelles?
no, virus's do not have organelles.
How many organelles are?
there are 59.5 organelles ......
What is is the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes doesnt have a membrane its organelles pretty much just float around unlike eukaryotes it contains a membrane where the organelles are kept proteinsynthesis in prokaryotes- it doesnt not contain "noncoding" meaning it doesnt have introns
What is the difference between a microbe and a fungus?
A microbe is a prokaryotic type of cell, which means it lacks a nucleus and other organelles, and is a single-celled organism. Fungi are multi-cellular, and are eukaryotic, meaning they have a nucleus, and various organelles are contained within their cell membrane.
How do you spell organelles?
Organelles is the correct spelling.
