Document Summary

The endomembrane is derived from the plasma membrane. Eukaryotes are characterized by endomembrane system (endo=within) A group of sacs that divide the cell into functional and structural components called organelles. Major membrane components: nuclear envelope, er, golgi complex. Infolding of the plasma membrane is believe to be responsible for the evolution of these structures. The membranes in the endomembrane system are either physically connected or they connect through vesicles that carry things in them. The nuclear envelope controls movement of proteins and rna in and out of the nucleus. Er and golgi serve many functions together such as: Synthesis and modifications of proteins and their transport in and out of the cell. Synthesis of lipids and detoxification of harmful compounds. Vesicle formed by the membrane that enclosed a space called lumen. There rough and smooth er (rough er contains ribosomes) Proteins synthesized on the rough er are made sent to plasma membrane or outside the cell.
