Question

Select the correct statements with respect to organelles included in 'Endomembrane system'
a. Bring about the oxidation of carbohydrates, proteins and
β -oxidation of fats

b. Performs storage of starch

c. Contains water, sap, excretory products and other material not useful for the cell

d. 1s of spherical shape and found in the nucleoplasm

Answer 1

(c) is the correct statement

Explanation:

• Endomembrane system consists of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles and cell membrane and nuclear envelope.
• It consists of the vacuole which contains water, sap, excretory products and other materials which are not used by the cell. Hence this (c)statement is correct.
• Oxidation of carbohydrates and beta oxidation of fats occurs in mitochondria (a) which is not a component of endomembrane system.
• Storage of starch (b) occurs in chloroplast and cytoplasm of leaves which again does not form a part of endomembrane system.
• Spherical shape body found in nucleoplasm is referred to as the nucleolus.
