- CStreptococcus
- DAll of the above
Correct answer
A. Cyanobacteria
Step-by-step solution
A special membranous structure is the mesosome which is formed by the extensions of plasma membrane into the cell. These extensions are in the form of vesicles, tubules and lamellae. They help in cell wall formation, DNA replication and distribution to daughter cells. They also help in respiration, secretion processes, to increase the surface area of the plasma membrane and enzymatic content . In some prokaryotes like cyanobacteria, there are other membranous extensions into the cytoplasm called chromatophores whic
