The isolation of the internal contents of membrane-bound organelles allows them to manufacture or store secretions, enzymes, or toxins that could adversely affect the cytoplasm in general. Another benefit is the increased efficiency of having specialized enzyme systems concentrated in one place, for example, those necessary for energy production in the mitochondrion. In addition, the membranes themselves serve as "workspace," allowing the anchoring of enzymes or other proteins into a stabilized location.
