There are tow major types of cells, prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. An organelle is defined as an internal, membrane bound sac or compartment that serves one or more functions inside the cell. These functions are mostly specific metabolic functions. Organelles undergo a process of separating chemical reactions. Generally, cell organelles are found more in eukaryotes compared to prokaryotes. One of the main advantages of partitioning the cell interior with these cell organelles is that numerous activities can occur simultaneously in a very confined space.
