In cell biology, an organelle is a discrete structure of a cell having specialized functions, and is separately enclosed in its own lipid membrane. There are many types of organelles, particularly in the eukaryotic cells of higher organisms. Prokaryotes were once thought not to have any organelles, but some examples have now been identified, although these are not widespread.

Organelles are parts of a cell that perform specific functions. Even though cells are very tiny, they have many functions to perform in order to live. For example, every cell must copy DNA, take in some form of food, convert that food to energy, get rid of waste products, etc. The organelles accomplish those tasks.

Organelles are the membrane-enclosed parts inside a cell. These include the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, the nucleus, ribosomes, vacuoles, and mitochondria.
