Question

What is the range of the number of individual organelles in a cell?

I am not a biologist but I understand that there's one nucleus and sometimes lots of mitochondria, so I am after the total number.

I understand that different types of cell will have a different number of Organelles in them, (e.g. there might be some very simple cells with 10 but there might be some with many more than that) but I am after the range with some examples. (I need references)

This is for a computational model.

Thanks very much

Explanation / Answer

BioNumbers is a database that contains exactly this sort of stuff.

For example, I took this from this site:

Number of mitochondria per cell:

Yeast Cryptococcus neoformans cell: ~34

Human HELA cell: ~6000

Mouse L cell: ~1000
