Hi everyone here's our next question. Select the option. That includes all of the correct endo membrane system organelles. So let's recall more content. Video. Um what the endo membrane system organelles are. And these are a collection of membrane bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells which are linked together either by physical connection to each other or by transport using vesicles from one thing to the other and whose actions are coordinated or connected. So let's evaluate our choices here. With that in mind we have choice a nucleus end of plasma particular. Um And golgi apparatus. Well here we are right off the bat with the correct answer here. Um The nucleus the nuclear membrane is continuous with the end of plasma critical. Um And then the Golgi apparatus is connected by vesicles transport from the er to the Golgi apparatus. All of these function uh in a connected way. Let's look just to the other answers. To be thorough. Choice B says nucleus mitochondria golgi apparatus while nucleus and Golgi apparatus are part of the endo endo membrane system but mitochondria are not so Choice B. Is incorrect. Choice C nucleus chloroplast and golgi apparatus. The chloroplast is not part of the end of membrane system. So Choice C. Is incorrect. And finally D nucleus central zone golgi apparatus. Central zone not part of the endo membrane system. So Choice D is not correct. In each case the things that are not connected mitochondria chloroplasts. Central zone these are not coordinated with the function of those endo membrane systems. Thanks for watching. See you in the next video
