Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The site of respiration in bacteria is
A
episome
B
mesosome
C
ribosome
D
microsome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plasma membrane of the bacterial cell has some invaginations called the mesosome. These along with increasing the surface area for respiratory activity contains some respiratory enzymes for respiration. Hence, the site of respiration in bacteria is the mesosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The site of aerobic respiration in the bacterial cell walls is mesosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mesosomes are specific structures found in bacteria. They are caused by plasma membrane invagination. They contribute to DNA replication and respiration. The primary function is to increase the surface area of the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mesosomes are organelles formed by plasma membrane infoldings. They are found in the membranes of bacterial cells. They’re invaginated structures made up of vesicles and tubules with lamellar whorls. Flat vesicles form the lamellae, which are connected to the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -The mesosome was thought to increase the surface area of the cell, aiding the cell in cellular respiration. This is analogous to cristae in the mitochondrion in eukaryotic cells, which are finger-like projections and help eukaryotic cells undergo cellular respiration.
