Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The endomembrane system includes the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and other kinds of vesicles. This system performs various kinds of functions in the cell such as protein synthesis and transportation of proteins into membranes.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The chloroplast is not a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The chloroplast is a different organelle and has two-membrane system. It is used during photosynthesis in autotrophs. The chloroplast contains the membrane called the chloroplast envelope.

Option (b) is given as “chloroplast”.

As “chloroplast is not a part of the endomembrane system”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “nuclear envelop”.

A double-membrane system that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm with perinuclear space is known as the nuclear envelope and is a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “Golgi apparatus”.

In the cytoplasm, a complex form of stacks is membrane-bound and that is known as the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “plasma membrane”.

The plasma membrane is a bilayer membrane which has two different layers. The inner layer is hydrophobic, and the outer layer is hydrophilic. The plasma membrane is a part of the endomembrane system. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c) and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The nuclear envelope, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane are the parts of the endomembrane system, but chloroplast is not a part of the endomembrane system.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
