Read the following statements regarding the endomembrane system of a eukaryotic cell: A. It includes endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles. B. The functions of the organelles within this system are coordinated. C. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are considered a part of this system. D. Peroxisomes are excluded from this system. E. All membrane-bound organelles of a plant cell are part of this sys

Step-by-step solution

The endomembrane system of a eukaryotic cell includes the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi complex, lysosomes, and vacuoles because their functions are coordinated. Statement A is correct as it lists the organelles included in the endomembrane system. Statement B is correct because the organelles of the endomembrane system work in a coordinated manner. Statement C is incorrect because mitochondria and chloroplasts are not part of the endomembrane system; their functions are not coordinated with the components of t
