Which of the following is not a part of the Endomembrane System? Correct Answer Mitochondria

The correct answer is Mitochondria.

• Mitochondria is not a part of the Endomembrane system.

Key Points

• The Endomembrane system is a collection of cell organelles which function together for the purpose such as transportation and packaging.
• Golgi apparatus, Endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, lysosome, peroxisomes, and vacuole work together for a single function but mitochondria and chloroplast are not a part of packaging and transportation functions.
• That's why mitochondria are not included in the endomembrane system.

Important Points

• The Endomembrane system is cell organelles whose activities are coordinated. The organelles of the endomembrane system are involved in vesicular transport. These are :
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Golgi Apparatus
  • Lysosome
  • Vacuole
