An organelle is like the organs in your body. Without them, your body won’t work without organs, right?
Organelles are organ for cells in your body. Some examples include the nucleus, the ER, the mitochondria, etc. Hope this helped!

Good afternoon. An organelle is any structure in cells that has a specialized function. They are usually found in eukaryotic (nucleus) cells. They help with energy, making proteins, and removing wastes from a certain area. They are composed of large molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. I hope I helped!! If you have any more questions then don't hesitate to let me know. Have a great day!!
