2023 Cell: The Unit of LifeCell Organelles – Endomembrane System Medium Question 1 of 2 in Cell Organelles – Endomembrane System

Which of the following are NOT considered as the part of endomembrane system? A. Mitochondria B. Endoplasmic Reticulum C. Chloroplasts D. Golgi complex E. Peroxisomes Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A A, D and E only
B B and D only
C A, C and E only
D A and D only

The answer is C.

Solution

Mitochondria, chloroplasts and peroxisomes are not part of the endomembrane system.

The endomembrane system includes endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles. Since the functions of the mitochondria, chloroplast and peroxisomes are not coordinated with the above components, these are not considered as part of the endomembrane system.
