A system of membranes that move proteins and other substances within the cells is the ____
A
mitochondria
B
nucleus
C
lysosome
D
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes inside a cell through which proteins and other molecules move. Proteins are assembled at organelles called ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -From the ER membrane, they proceed to their final destination along the same pathway as that of secretory proteins: ER→ Golgi→ plasma membrane or lysosomes. These proteins are transported along this pathway as membrane components, however, rather than as soluble proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a key role in the modification of proteins and the synthesis of lipids. It consists of a network of membranous tubules and flattened sacs. The discs and tubules of the ER are hollow, and the space inside is called the lumen.
