Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason as to how inward folding of the membrane in prokaryotes leads to the endomembrane system formation.
Introduction:
Endomembrane system is made up of various membranes that are present in the cytoplasm of the cell. They compartmentalize the cell and divide it into functional compartments. They separate the substances and reactions of the organelles from the cytoplasm. These membranes are cell membrane, vesicles, and Golgi apparatus.
