Which organelles are not bounded by membranes.

None? --G3pro 12:38, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
If you call the cytoskeletton an organelle, it is not membrane-bound. Neither Ribosomes are bound by membranes nor is the centrioles. --Eribro 17:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I created a disambiguation for vesicle and have been going back and changing the links in all the biology articles to link to vesicle (biology). If you would modify (or enable me to modify) the link in this article to vesicle to point instead to vesicle (biology), I would appreciate it.

Done. Since the page is protected due to vandalism rather than an edit war, it's fine for admins to make minor fixes. -- Hadal 04:48, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Organelle template has been updated to reflect the movement of the Vesicle article to Vesicle (biology). Pages that use this template have had their links updated fine. however, the "what links here" page for Vesicle still lists all the pages that use the organelle template as linking to vesicle. Editing the entry, making no changes and saving it, is all you have to do to update the list of "what links here" for the vesicle article. So if you would, please edit this page and immediately save it and mark it as a minor edit. Thanks. Jared81 08:17, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

Hi guys. This page didn't help me understand what 'organelles' are. Can someone add a clear, defining intro sentence? Much appreciated. martin

"An organelle is is to the cell what an organ is to the body (hence the name ORGANelle)." I Hope it made things clearer. --Eribro 17:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vesicle/Vacuole

I thought only plant cells had vakoules, the picture shows one and it's supposed to be a picture of an animal cell. Does animal cells have vakuoles? --Eribro 17:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

A vacuole is the equivelent of an air bubble. Plant cells usually have 1 or 2 large ones, but animal cells can have several but they are much smaller. Bartimaeus 13:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
