Answer 2

Answer:

A mesosome is a unique membranous structure formed by the extensions of plasma membrane into the cell. It it is found attached to the nucleoid, it is known as septal mesosome and is known as lateral mesosome if the mesosome is free from the nucleoid.

Functions of mesosome are as follows

• They help in cell-wall formation

• They help in DNA replication and distribution to daughter cells.

• They also help in respiration, secretion processes, to increase the surface area of the plasma membrane and enzymatic content.
