Aprimarily in cytoplasmic protein synthesis only
Bprimarily in photosynthesis and pigment storage
Cprimarily in engulfing food by phagocytosis
Drespiration, DNA replication and cell wall formation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. respiration, DNA replication and cell wall formation
A mesosome is an infolding of the plasma membrane that boosts surface area for respiration, helps replicate and segregate DNA at division, and supports cell-wall formation.
Photosynthetic prokaryotes have a separate analogous structure called chromatophores.
