Question

................ structure of prokaryotes is analogous to lysosome.

• A. Mesosome
• B. Genophore
• C. Periplasmic space
• D. Perinuclear space

Answer 1

The correct option is C Periplasmic space

Lysosomes are the suicidal bags or disposal unit of cell that digest and remove the wear and tear organelles and molecules from the cell. The space between inner (plasma) and outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria and spirochetes is called as the periplasmic space which contains enzymes for assembly of the cell wall and membrane components, various degradative enzymes that serve as lysosomal enzymes and digest the wear and tear portion of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
