All of the following processes occur in the endomembrane system, except
Options
- Aaerobic respiration
- Bprotein glycosylation
- Cexcretion
- Dsynthesis of lipid-like steroidal hormones
Correct answer
A. aerobic respiration
Step-by-step solution
The endomembrane system include endoplasmic reticulum (ER), golgi complex, lysosomes and vacuoles. Since the functions of the mitochondria, chloroplast and peroxisomes are not coordinated with the above components, these are not considered as part of the endomembrane system. Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration. They produce cellular energy in the form of ATP, hence they are called ‘power houses’ of the cell. The matrix also possesses single circular DNA molecule, a few RNA molecules, ribosomes (70S) a
