Question

In bacteria, the oxidative enzymes are found within

• A. Mesosome
• B. Cell wall
• C. Plasma membrane
• D. Flagella

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mesosome

Mesosomes are the folded invagination of the plasma membrane which is mainly present in prokaryotes. E.coli being the prokaryotes, it possesses the mesosomes. It is equivalent to mitochondria of eukaryotes because of respiratory enzymes present in aerobic bacteria and like mitochondria, the folded invagination of mesosomes increases cellular absorption and increases it its efficiency by the production of greater ATP. They are responsible for respiration, cellular secretion, etc., due to the presence of oxidative enzymes.

So, the correct answer is option A.
