Question

question 6 of 10 which of the following describes the function of the endomembrane system of eukaryotes? a. synthesis and transport of polypeptides b. storage of nutrients and waste c. synthesis of atp d. storage and breakdown of toxins

Explanation:

The endomembrane system in eukaryotes is involved in the synthesis and transport of polypeptides. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to it which synthesize polypeptides, and the Golgi apparatus modifies and transports these polypeptides. The other options are functions of other cell - components. For example, storage of nutrients and waste is a function of vacuoles, synthesis of ATP occurs mainly in mitochondria and chloroplasts, and storage and breakdown of toxins is a function of peroxisomes in part.

Answer:

A. Synthesis and transport of polypeptides
