Read the following cell processes. In how many of them are mesosomes involves? (Respiration, Secretion, DNA replication, Cell wall formation, Resistance to antibiotics, Protection)
Options
- AFive
- BThree
- CFour
- DSix
Correct answer
C. Four
Step-by-step solution
In Prokaryotes, the plasma membrane extends into the cytoplasm to form special structure known as mesosomes. These extend into the cell and hence are known as inclusions of the cell. These perform various functions like Cell wall formation, DNA replication, Distribution of DNA to daughter cells, Respiration, Secretion of substances in and out of cells and Increase in surface area of plasma membrane. These organelles are absent in Eukaryotes.
