The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which structure is referred to as the "system of membrane" within a cell. 2. **Identifying Cell Organelles**: In a typical cell, several organelles are present, including the nucleus, lysosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. 3. **Analyzing Each Organelle**: - **Lysosome**: Contains hydrolytic enzymes and has a single membrane structure. - **Mitochondria**: Known for ATP production and aerobic respiration, has a double membrane but is not referred to as a "system of membrane." - **Chloroplast**: Involved in photosynthesis, also has a double membrane but is not termed as a "system of membrane." - **Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)**: This organelle is extensive and has a membrane structure that spreads throughout the cell. It can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes). 4. **Conclusion**: The endoplasmic reticulum is characterized by its extensive membrane system that is interconnected throughout the cell, making it the correct answer to the question. 5. **Final Answer**: The endoplasmic reticulum is known as the "system of membrane." ---
