Organelles are separate compartments in eukaryotic cells that contain different enzymes and molecules and have specific roles in maintaining cell structure and function [1]. Each organelle has its own membrane in the form of a lipid bilayer, this allows compartmentalization and segragation of different chemical activites. Different organelles can be seperated by centrifugation due to thier varying densities.
