The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes (endomembranes) that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles .
The Golgi apparatus (/ ˈ ɡ ɒ l dʒ i /), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. [1] Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.

Endosomes represent a major sorting compartment of the endomembrane system in cells. [2] Function. Endosomes provide an environment for ...
Eukaryotic cell with endomembrane system Eukaryotic cells are some 10,000 times larger than prokaryotic cells by volume, and contain membrane-bound organelles . Eukaryote cells include a variety of membrane-bound structures, together forming the endomembrane system. [ 23 ]
Diagram of endomembrane system in eukaryotic cell Modern eukaryotic cells use the endomembrane system to transport products and wastes in, within, and out of cells. The membrane of nuclear envelope and endomembrane vesicles are composed of similar membrane proteins. [ 49 ]
Diagram of the endomembrane system. Endoplasmic reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a transport network for molecules targeted for certain modifications and specific destinations, as compared to molecules that float freely in the cytoplasm.
The endoplasmic reticulum is also part of a protein sorting pathway. It is, in essence, the transportation system of the eukaryotic cell. The majority of its resident proteins are retained within it through a retention motif. This motif is composed of four amino acids at the end of the protein sequence.
