Membrane biogenesis is associated with which of the following cell organelles? Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Chloroplasts Both A and B


Endoplasmic reticulum- Membrane biogenesis is the process by which proteins and lipids (produced in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) aid in the formation of the cell membrane within a cell. The membrane of the organelle E.R. (Endoplasmic Reticulum) is involved in membrane biogenesis. Option B is also correct that is why it is a wrong answer.
Golgi apparatus- The Golgi apparatus is also referred to as the Golgi body. Option A is also correct that is why this option is wrong.
Chloroplasts-Chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, are similar to mitochondria in many ways.
Endoplasmic reticulum- Membrane biogenesis is the process by which proteins and lipids (produced in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) aid in the formation of the cell membrane within a cell. The membrane of the organelle E.R. (Endoplasmic Reticulum) is involved in membrane biogenesis.
Golgi apparatus- The Golgi apparatus is also referred to as the Golgi body. The Golgi apparatus transports, modifies, and packages proteins and lipids synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum into vesicles.This is also involved in membrane biogenesis.

Final Answer: Hence, the correct answer is D, Both A and B.
