Introduction to Cellular Compartmentalization

You know cells are the basic units of life. What you might not immediately realize is that they're also highly organized mini-factories. This organization is called cellular compartmentalization.

If all these processes happened in one big open space, it would be chaotic and inefficient. Chemical reactions might interfere with each other, and valuable resources could be wasted.
