Correct answer: A
The endomembrane system in a cell includes:
- The nuclear envelope
- The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
- The Golgi apparatus (Golgi complex)
- Lysosomes
- Vesicles
- The plasma membrane
This system is involved in the modification, packaging, and transport of proteins and lipids.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are not part of the endomembrane system. They are both organelles with their own separate membranes, and they have their own DNA. They are thought to have originated from a symbiotic relationship with prokaryotic cells, a theory known as endosymbiosis.
Peroxisomes, although they are membrane-bound organelles involved in many metabolic reactions, are also not considered part of the endomembrane system because they do not communicate with the other endomembrane organelles and are not involved in protein sorting or lipid synthesis like the other components of the endomembrane system.
Therefore, the answer is :
Option A : A, C, and E only.
