Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Mesosomes are the folded invaginations of bacterial plasma membrane that help in cell division
Statement (II): Mesosomes reduce the surface area of plasma membrane
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Any cellular invagination (such as mesosomes in bacteria or cristae in mitochondria) increases the membrane surface area to maximize biological activity.
This makes Statement (II) false.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
