Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The internal membrane system found in eukaryotic cells; the place where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled.
A
ribosome
B
endoplasmic reticulum
C
golgi apparatus
D
lysosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ER has a central role in lipid and protein biosynthesis. Its membrane is the site of production of all the transmembrane proteins and lipids for most of the cell’s organelles, including the ER itself, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endosomes, secretory vesicles, and the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endomembrane system (endo-= “within”) is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that works together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Membranes and their constituent proteins are assembled in the ER. This organelle contains the enzymes involved in lipid synthesis, and as lipids are manufactured in the ER, they are inserted into the organelle’s own membranes. This happens in part because the lipids are too hydrophobic to dissolve into the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Endomembrane System. The endomembrane system (endo = within) is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that work together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins.
