Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nuclear envelope is a membrane-bound structure that encloses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. It is a part of the endomembrane system and likely evolved as an elaboration of it.

Answer: A and E
 The plasma membrane is a crucial component of the endomembrane system as it forms the boundary between the inside of the cell and the extracellular environment. Peroxisomes, which are responsible for various metabolic activities such as lipid metabolism and detoxification, are also a part of the endomembrane system.
