Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endomembrane system is composed of many different membranous organelles and structures, including the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. While some components of the endomembrane system, such as the nuclear envelope, are not technically part of the ER or Golgi, these two structures are the primary components of the system.

Answer: D and E are incorrect
 Option D is incorrect because the endomembrane system is not involved in ATP production, which is primarily carried out by the mitochondria. Option E is incorrect because the endomembrane system is present in both animal and plant cells.
