NEETBotanyCell - The Unit of Life
Which of the following combinations consists entirely of organelles that are excluded from the endomembrane system?
Options
- AEndoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex and Vacuoles
- BMitochondria, Chloroplasts and Peroxisomes
- CMitochondria, Lysosomes and Peroxisomes
- DChloroplasts, Vacuoles and Ribosomes
Correct answer
B. Mitochondria, Chloroplasts and Peroxisomes
Step-by-step solution
The endomembrane system includes the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, and vacuoles because their functions are coordinated. Since the functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes are not coordinated with the components of the endomembrane system, they are not considered part of it. Lysosomes and vacuoles are part of the endomembrane system, making the other options incorrect. Answer: Mitochondria, Chloroplasts and Peroxisomes
