Which structure is not part of the endomembrane system?
- A. nuclear envelope
- B. chloroplast
- C. Golgi apparatus
- D. plasma membrane

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.
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.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
