Consider the following cell organelles: (i) Chloroplast (ii) Endoplasmic reticulum (iii) Peroxisome (iv) Golgi complex (v) Lysosome (vi) Mitochondria (vii) Vacuole How many of the given organelles constitute the endomembrane system?

Step-by-step solution

The endomembrane system consists of organelles whose functions are coordinated with one another. The organelles that are part of the endomembrane system include the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, and vacuoles. Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes are not considered part of the endomembrane system because their functions are not coordinated with the aforementioned organelles. Therefore, out of the given list, four organelles constitute the endomembrane system: Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi co
