Question

Which of the following function is not performed by endomembrane system

• A. Lipid synthesis
• B. Protein modification
• C. Digestion of nucleic acids
• D. Storage of calcium

Answer 1

The correct option is D Storage of calcium

The endomembrane system is a series of compartments that work together to package, label, and ship proteins and molecules. The endomembrane system is made up of both the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus.

• Lipid synthesis is carried out by the ER of the endomembrane system.
• digestion of nucleic acids and protein modification and packaging are the function of the Golgi apparatus.
• The cellular components of the endomembrane system work together to modify, package, tag, and transport proteins and lipids that form the membranes.

So, the correct option is 'Storage of calcium'.
