This proposal was made as a way of explaining how the various lipid membranes are assembled in the cell, with these membranes being assembled through lipid flow from the sites of lipid synthesis. The first proposal that the membranes within cells form a single system that exchanges material between its components was by Morré and Mollenhauer in 1974. However, although it is clear that lipid transport is a central process in organelle biogenesis, the mechanisms by which lipids are transported through cells remain poorly understood. The various membranes that enclose the other subcellular organelles must therefore be constructed by transfer of lipids from these sites of synthesis.
The situation is similar in mammals, with the exception of the first few steps in ether lipid biosynthesis, which occur in peroxisomes. Sphingolipid biosynthesis begins in the endoplasmic reticulum, but is completed in the Golgi apparatus. Most lipids are synthesized in yeast either in the endoplasmic reticulum, lipid particles, or the mitochondrion, with little or no lipid synthesis occurring in the plasma membrane or nuclear membrane. One unifying characteristic the membranes share is a lipid bilayer, with proteins attached to either side or traversing them. The thickness, molecular composition, and metabolic behavior of a membrane are not fixed, they may be modified several times during the membrane's life. Despite these relationships, the various membranes are not identical in structure and function. The organelles of the endomembrane system are related through direct contact or by the transfer of membrane segments as vesicles. Another example is the complex "pepin" system of Thiomargarita species, especially T. These light-gathering membranes may even form enclosed structures called chlorosomes in green sulfur bacteria. In prokaryotes endomembranes are rare, although in many photosynthetic bacteria the plasma membrane is highly folded and most of the cell cytoplasm is filled with layers of light-gathering membrane.
There is also an organelle known as the Spitzenkörper that is only found in fungi, and is connected with hyphal tip growth. The cell membrane is a protective barrier that regulates what enters and leaves the cell. A vesicle is a relatively small, membrane-enclosed sac that stores or transports substances. Vacuoles, which are found in both plant and animal cells (though much bigger in plant cells), are responsible for maintaining the shape and structure of the cell as well as storing waste products.

The Golgi apparatus is a series of multiple compartments where molecules are packaged for delivery to other cell components or for secretion from the cell.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a synthesis, and transport organelle that branches into the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells. The nuclear membrane contains a lipid bilayer that encompasses the contents of the nucleus. Importantly, the endomembrane system does not include the membranes of plastids or mitochondria, but might have evolved partially from the actions of the latter (see below). The system is defined more accurately as the set of membranes that forms a single functional and developmental unit, either being connected directly, or exchanging material through vesicle transport. In eukaryotes the organelles of the endomembrane system include: the nuclear membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, endosomes, and plasma (cell) membrane among others. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles. The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes ( endomembranes) that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. Detail of the endomembrane system and its components
