Cell membrane of bacterial cell invaginates producing structure called:
Correct answer: C. Mesosome
- A. Polysome
- B. Endosome
- C. Mesosome
- D. Centrosome
Explanation
Mesosome is a convoluted membranous structure formed in a prokaryotic cell by the invagination of the plasma membrane. Polysomes are aggregates of numerous ribosomes that are in the process of actively translating mRNA into protein. Endosomes are membrane-bound vesicles, formed via a complex family of processes collectively known as endocytosis, and found in the cytoplasm of virtually every animal cell. The correct answer is, therefore, C.

About Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus and complex membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, specialized organelles and a cytoskeleton. Comparisons include DNA organization, ribosomes, cell walls, size, division and examples such as bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, plants and animals.
