Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The endomembrane system is a network made up of the membrane-bound Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi apparatus organnelles, found only in eukaryotic cells. They work together to package and transport lipids and proteins. Proteins produced in the ribosomes during translation process. These ribosomes attach to Endoplasmic Reticulum giving it its name, Rough ER.

This attachment allows the protein produced in the ribosomes to go through the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum for modification and folding before finally being transported by secretory besides to the target cells.
