A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an organelle within a cell. An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. The creation of a single organelle from two or more organelles. Fusion of mitochondria during insect spermatid differentiation to form two masses, which wrap around each other to form a densely packed sphere called the Nebenkern. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell part are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment. Merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment. Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment. The cellular process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. The process by which the anatomical structures of a mitochondrion are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The membrane organization process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a mitochondrion; includes mitochondrial morphogenesis and distribution, and replication of the mitochondrial genome as well as synthesis of new mitochondrial components. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins.
