"Specialized" organelles or parts means that these parts have been modified to carry out a specific function that is unique to them.
Organelles are literally "little organs" and each of them in the cell has a specific and distinct function.
For example the nucleus is an organelle. It is arguably the most important organelle in the cell. Its specific overall function is that it acts as the cell control center, directing the activities of all the other organelles .i.e. what they need do and when to do it.
The nucleus also contains all of the cell's genetic material (DNA).
Aquatic environments, mainly the sea.

I would recommend reading the descriptions and then reading the passage/story if you have not done that yet.
Answer:
Minerals can form in all geological environments, which allows them to have a wide range of chemical and physical conditions. Two forms of this are temperature and pressure. There are 4 main categories of mineral formations. Igneous is where the minerals crystalize from a melt. Sedimentary is where the raw materials of the mineral are particles from other rocks that have suffered from erosion and weathering. Metamorphic is where new minerals are created from earlier ones owing to the effects of change. Most of the time it's from increasing temperature and/or pressure. Hydrothermal is where the minerals are chemically precipitated from hot solutions in the earth.
