In prokaryotes, chromatophores are

• A. Specialised granules responsible for colouration of cells
• B. Structures responsible for organizing the shape of the cell
• C. Inclusion bodies lying free inside the cells for carrying out various metabolic activities
• D. Internal membrane system that may become extensive and complex in photosynthetic bacteria

Answer 1

The correct option is D Internal membrane system that may become extensive and complex in photosynthetic bacteria

Some prokaryotes like photosynthetic bacteria and blue green algae possess small membrane linked chromatophores, which are similar and chemically simpler than the chlorophyll pigment of plants.
