Answer:The organelles which isn't a part of the endomembrane system!

Explanation:

Somehow in metabolism there comes a need to get those digestive enzymes shipped from their site of synthesis (liver cell) - inside the cell-to their place of action outside the cell (small intestine).

The endomembrane system is the postal service for the job!

The cell's endomembrane system of eukaryotes is a network of organelles (like tiny organs) that plays the roles in manufacturing and material transport, allowing the cell to make, move and break down cellular products.

The endomembrane system consists of the following;

• nuclear envelope,

• rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER),

• the Golgi apparatus as well as the cell's plasma membrane,

• and includes the vesicles that bud off these membranes for intracellular transport (moving stuff around inside the cell),

i. exocytosis (stuff leaving the cell) and ii. endocytosis (stuff coming into the cell).
