Question

Which one of the following is not considered as a part of the endomembrane system?

• A. Peroxisome
• B. Golgi complex
• C. Lysosome
• D. Vacuole

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Peroxisome

Many of the cell organelles have their functions coordinated, and hence, they are considered together as the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system includes endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles. Peroxisomes, mitochondria and chloroplasts do not have their functions coordinated; hence, they are not part of the endomembrane system.
