Question

________ are compartments within the cell whose contents are isolated from the cytosol.
A) Cytoskeleton
B) Microvilli
C) Nonmembranous organelles
D) Membranous organelles
E) Ribosomes

Accepted Answer

Membranous organelles are compartments within the cell that have a membrane that isolates their contents from the cytosol. Examples of membranous organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and mitochondria. Nonmembranous organelles, on the other hand, are not enclosed by a membrane and include structures such as ribosomes, cytoskeleton, and microvilli.
