Question

Which is part of endomembrane system of Eukaryotic cell
(A) Mitochondria
(B) Peroxisomes
(C) Chloroplasts
(D) Golgi bodies

Answer 1

Hint: Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are enclosed by a plasma membrane. The endomembrane system is a membranous component of the cytoplasm of the cell and consists of membranous organelles.

Complete answer:
The eukaryotes include all the protists, plants, animals and fungi. In eukaryotic cells there is an extensive compartmentalization of cytoplasm through the presence of membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells possess an organised nucleus with a nuclear envelope.

The endomembrane system is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. It includes the nuclear envelope, lysosomes, and vesicles, which we’ve already mentioned, and the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, which we will cover shortly. Although not technically within the cell, the plasma membrane is included in the endomembrane system because it interacts with the other endomembranous organelles.

The endomembrane system does not include the membranes of either mitochondria or chloroplasts. Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi complex or Golgi body, membrane-bound organelle of eukaryotic cells. It is located in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum and near the cell nucleus. While many types of cells contain only one or several Golgi apparatus, plant cells can contain hundreds.

Hence the correct option is (C) Golgi apparatus.

Note: In general, the Golgi apparatus is made up of approximately four to eight cisternae, although in some single-celled organisms it may consist of as many as 60 cisternae. The cisternae are held together by matrix proteins, and the whole of the Golgi apparatus is supported by cytoplasmic microtubules.
