Answer:

In eukaryotes, thousands of chemical reactions are able to take place in separate compartments called organelles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Organelles are specific cellular structures that are the means of compartmentalizing the various functions that occur within cells.

Examples of organelles and their functions are:

- Nucleus: contains DNA and in it occur the replication of this molecule and its transcription into RNA.

- Rough endoplasmic reticulum: protein synthesis and conjugation of these molecules occurs.

- Mitochondrion: houses all oxidative phosphorylation reactions and the electron transport chain for ATP synthesis to occur.

The organelles are then the structures that allow the development of the multiple functions that a cell has.

The other options are not correct because:

  • Bacteria is a prokaryotic organism.
  • Prokaryote refers to simple organisms that lack organelles.
  • Proteins are biomolecules that allow the structure and function of living beings.
