Question

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option in question.

Assertion: Chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes are not considered as a part of the endomembrane system.

Reason: Functions of chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes are not coordinated with ER, Golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles.

Answer 1

Assertion: Chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes are not considered as a part of the endomembrane system.

Elaboration: The endomembrane system is a collection of membranes and organelles found in eukaryotic cells that collaborate to alter, pack, and transport lipids as well as proteins. It includes organelles like ER, Golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles. But chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes are not considered as a part of the endomembrane system.

Reason: Functions of chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes are not coordinated with ER, Golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles.

Elaboration: The function of organelles present in the ensomembrane system is to modify and supply lipids and proteins. But chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes do not perform or coordiante with the same function. That's why chloroplasts, mitochondria and peroxisomes are not considered as a part of the endomembrane system.

Final answer: a. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
