No, mitochondria and chloroplasts are not part of the endomembrane system. They are considered semi-autonomous organelles that have their own DNA and ribosomes, resembling prokaryotic cells. Unlike components of the endomembrane system, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, they are not involved in the direct transport and modification of proteins and lipids within the cell. Instead, they primarily function in energy production and photosynthesis, respectively.

Which is not a function of the endomembrane system of the cell?

In your cell, this is where the endomembrane system comes in a cell image because one is studded with small ribosomes and one is not.

Is mitochondria part of the endomembrane system?

No. The endomembrane system consists of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus - i.e things that are formed within the cell. The mitochondria was originally formed from a captured bacterial cell - as it has it's own DNA and its own ribosomes (as well as very bacterial like proteins). It is a separate organelle on its own, although it will have connections with the endomembrane system it is not considered part of it.


What Endomembrane system contains organelles except?

The endomembrane system includes various organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, and the plasma membrane. However, it does not include mitochondria and chloroplasts, as these organelles are not part of the endomembrane system and have their own distinct membranes and functions. Additionally, the nucleus is often considered separate from the endomembrane system despite its membrane structure.


How many organelles are there and what are there names?

Why is not the mitochondrian classified as a part of endomembrane system?

Its structure is not derived from the ER In contrast to organelles of the endomembrane system, these organelles have at least two membranes separating the innermost space from the cytosol. Their membrane proteins aren't made by the endoplasmic reticulum, but by ribosomes in the cytoplasm and in the organelle itself.


What are the similarities of plant and animal cells of the brain?

Which of the following structures are found in eukaryotic cells but not prokaryotic cells?

Nucleus and all membrane-bound organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles, etc.)


Can a cell membrane also be called a endomembrane system?

No, the endomembrane system lies between the nuclear envelope and the cell membrane; dis-including both. The Endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus are two members of the endomembrane system. Google endomembrane system to get the complete picture.


Do mitochondria have thylakoids?

No, mitochondria do not have thylakoids. Thylakoids are a membrane system containing chlorophyll found in chloroplasts, while mitochondria have inner and outer membranes but do not contain thylakoids. Mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis like chloroplasts.


Discuss the similarity of animal and plant cells?

Animal cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, nucleus, nucleolus, and an endomembrane system, and so do plant cells.
