Solution
The correct option is A Mesomes
The bacterial cells are primitive cells hence, called as prokaryotic cells. They do not possess many membrane bound organelles as mitochondria. Hence, processes which are carried out by mitochondria are carried over by plasma membrane of bacteria. Plasma membrane is a living membrane that forms the boundary between a cell and its environment. Some invaginations of the plasma membrane are called as 'mesosomes'. Mesosomes of aerobic bacteria such as E.coli contain respiratory enzymes to carry out respiration.
