What are membrane bound receptors?

Can you explain what membrane bound organelle means?

  • how does a membrane bound organelle differ from a non membrane bound organelle. I don't understand the difference. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    I like this question better than the bacteria question. An organelle is a cellular structure that has a unique function. It should be something more than a macromolecular complex, like a ribosome. Ribosomes and centrioles are sometimes called non membrane bound organelles. They are large, protein-rich structures within a cell that have a unique function. They are not surrounded by phospholipid bilayers either. Membrane-bound organelles have a phospholipid bilayer surrounding an internal environment. Lysosomes, peroxisomes, and the Golgi are examples of these.

Membrane bound organelles have bilipid membranes surrounding them just like the cell does. These would include the nucleus, mitochondria, etc. Non-membrane bound organelles do not. Off the top of my head, I am not thinking of what actually could be considered in this category except maybe ribosomes.
