Question 2

What is the benefit of having some of the cellular organelles enclosed by a membrane similar to the cell membrane?

Accepted Answer

The isolation of the internal contents of membrane-bound organelles allows them to manufacture or store secretions, enzymes, or toxins that could adversely affect the cytoplasm in general. Another benefit is the increased efficiency of having specialized enzyme systems concentrated in one place. For example, the concentration of enzymes necessary for energy production is in the mitochondrion.
