Which one of the following is not considered as a part of the endomembrane system?
- AGolgi complex
- Correct answerBPeroxisome
- CVacuole
- DLysosome
Solution
Cell organelles, whose functions are coordinated, are considered together as an 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.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
