Specialization refers to the process by which a structure becomes differentiated for a particular function. When a female ovum is fertilised by sperm, a zygote is formed which grows by mitosis. As it grows into am embryo then foetus, these cells undergo specialization as they form different tissues and organs which all play different roles to ensure the proper functioning of the body. Similarly, as organs and tissues cells undergo further specialization, in terms of organelles. Each cell contains organelles which serve different purposes, the nucleus controls cellular activity, mitochondria provides energy in the form of ATP, cytoplasm which provides the environment for metabolic reactions and ribosomes for protein synthesis ( to name a few). Each organelle uniquely specialized for its intended purpose and all reliant on each other.

The answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

What means that organelles are specialized?

Cells contains several kinds of organelles which help it to accomplish all the functions the cell needs. The cell is similar to us, we have different organs to do all our functions, the organelles are specialized in different activities to do all the functions the cells needs to be healthy. For example it has a membrane to protect and isolate from the environment, it has several mitochondria to generate energy or it has a nucleus to control all the activities. If the organelles weren't specialized, the cell couldn't accomplish all its functions.
