Which of the following are NOT considered as the part of endomembrane system?
A. Mitochondria B. Endoplasmic Reticulum
C.Chloroplast D. Golgi complex
E. Peroxisomes
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A and D only
A, C and E only

A, D and E only
Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, and Peroxisomes are not considered part of the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system primarily includes the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex, which are involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of proteins and lipids within the cell.
Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production, and they have their own distinct membrane system separate from the endomembrane system. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis, which involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Peroxisomes are involved in various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids, detoxification of harmful substances, and synthesis of certain lipids. These organelles have their own unique functions and are not part of the endomembrane system.
Option 2 is the correct answer
