Best Answer

A membrane bound organelle is a membrane bound structure that performs a very specific function within the cell.

For example - nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus.

According to Wikipedia:

The term organelle is the diminutive form of organ meaning 'little tool". Various texts, including the popular Campbell and Reece (6th edition) refer to ribosomes as organelles. Others do not. Some restrict the use to membrane-bound structures. This then leads to some confusion as to how to refer to ribosomes. Consequently many texts (Cormack, Introduction to Histology) delineate between membranous and non-membranous organelles. Non-membranous cell structures, which are sometimes not considered organelles, include: * ribosome * cytoskeleton * flagellum * centriole and microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). So basically the bulletpoints are non-membrane bound organelles.

organelles are present in the cytoplasm of the cell. the nonmembranous organelles are those organelles that do not have a membrane or an outer covering. these organelles do not have a fixed shape and lack rigidity due to the absence of membrane.

It is a cell organelle that is not bound by a membrane. Ribosomes, Cytoskeletal Structures, Centrioles, and Basal Bodies are non membranous organelles.

The Eukaryote cell contains a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes, also referred to as membrane-bound organelles.
