The plasma membrane is the phospholipid bilayer that is defines the outer border of the cell. All of the organelles (which are also membrane bounds) are contained within the boundaries of the plasma membrane.

What is the main difference between a eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

the main difference is that the prokaryotic cell lacks definite nucleus while a eukaryotic cell contains a well defined nucleus with double membrane.besides prokaryotic cell also lacks membrane bounded organelles while a eukaryotic cell contains all membrane bounded organelles like mitochondria,endoplasmic reticulum etc

What is the purpose or usefulness of organelles that have a double membrane?

Mitochondria (producing cell energy), and chloroplast (photosyntesis) are the organelles with double membrane. Endosymbiotic theory - during evolution smaller prokaryots were consumed by bigger cells, and developed protective coat, hence the double membrane


Surrounded by double layer of memberane with pore?

The mitochondria and the chloroplast are organelles that have a double membrane.


What are the two organelles that are double membraneous?

The two organelles that are double membranous are the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. They both have an outer membrane and an inner membrane, which helps compartmentalize their functions within the cell.


What is the difference between eukaryiotic cells and prokaryiotic cells?

The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is where eukaryotes store their genetic information. In prokaryotes, DNA is bundled together in the nucleoid region, but it is not stored within a membrane-bound nucleus. The nucleus is only one of many membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotes. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have no membrane-bound organelles. Another important difference is the DNA structure. Eukaryote DNA consists of multiple molecules of double-stranded linear DNA, while that of prokaryotes is double-stranded and circular. From Creative Biogene.


Does a Peroxisome have a double membrane?

No, peroxisomes do not have a double membrane. They are single-membraned organelles that contain enzymes involved in various metabolic reactions, such as detoxification of harmful substances and fatty acid metabolism.


Is it true that Mitochondria are double membrane organelles.?

No,it is not the only organelle. Many other organelles have double membranes. Ex: Chloroplast,lysosoem,vacuole etc


What do organelle do not have?

There are so many different types of organelles. This therefore means that the organelles do not have various things depending on the particular type. Most organelles do not have a double membrane.


What three orgenelles have a double membrane?

The three cell organelles that have double membranes are: 1. Nucleus 2. Mitochondria 3. Chloroplast


Are both chloroplasts and mitochondria bounded by two membranes?

Yes. The outer membrane is similar to modern eukaryotic membranes, such as the plasma membranes of animals and plants. The inner membrane is similar to modern prokaryotic membranes, found in bacteria. This difference has been taken as one piece of evidence to support the theory of the endosymbiotic origin of these two organelles, i.e. the idea that each of these organelles formed originally from the engulfing of a prokaryotic cell by a eukaryotic one.


Does bacteria have a membrane enclosed organelles?

No, bacteria do not have membrane-enclosed organelles like eukaryotic cells do. Instead, the internal components of bacteria are not separated by membranes but may be organized by intracellular structures such as ribosomes, nucleoid regions, and plasmids.
