Summary Introduction
To review:
Definition of an organelle and the two broad categories based on which the organelles are divided.
Introduction:
Organelles are the structures that perform specific functions in the cell. Cells may differ in the organelle composition. In unicellular organisms, organelles are equal to organs in the basis of function in multicellular organisms. Organelles are classified into membranous and nonmembranous organelles.

- In biology, the phrase "form fits function" is often used to describe the relationship between a particular structure and the job that structure has to do. This is easily seen in the structure and functions of the organelles and other components seen in the bacterial, plant, or animal cell. In 3 or 4 sentences, describe the structure and function of two different organelles or cellular components. In your answer, address the following for two separate organelles: Briefly describe the structure of two different organelles, including the name of each organelle.
