What is the major benefit of having membrane-bound organelles?
Increased surface area of membranes increase the surfaces on which processes can take place. This is important because membranes are very good at organizing functionally related proteins, especially enzyme systems.
What are three major principles of the cell theory?
All organisms are made of cells, the cell is the most basic unit of life, and cells come from other cells.
