Mesosome helps in all the following processes except:

Options

  1. ACell wall formation
  2. BSynthesis and secretion of carbohydrates
  3. CDNA replication
  4. DRespiration

Correct answer

B. Synthesis and secretion of carbohydrates

Step-by-step solution

A special membranous structure is a 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.
