In a prokaryotic cell, mesosomes functions is
Options
- ADNA replication and distribution to daughter cells.
- BFormation of cell wall, increase the surface area of the plasma membrane and enzymatic content.
- CRespiration and secretion processes.
- DAll of these
Correct answer
D. All of these
Step-by-step solution
A special membranous structure is a mesosome that is formed by the extensions of the 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.
