The organelles of the endomembrane system work together to carry out the synthesis and movement of materials throughout and out of the cell. In the sequences provided, materials such as proteins would move from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where a protein would be synthesized, and then sent to the Golgi for modification and packaging for export, and then secreted from the cell via the plasma membrane.
