16. 16 Plant cell organelles Plant cells contain compartments derived from the endomembrane system. Chloroplast and mitochondria are not derived from the endomembrane system. Endomembrane system plays a central role in secretory process, membrane cycling, and the cell cycle. The composition and fluid-mosaic structure of the plasma membrane permits regulation of transport into and out of the cell.
