Here's ur answer

$\blue{MESOSOME}$

•They are special membranous structure which is an extension of plasma membrane.

$\bf{Main\:Functions}$

•They help in cell wall formation,DNA replication and distribution to daughter cells.
•They also helps in respiration,secretion processes,to increase surface area of the plasma membrane and enzymatic content.

Answer 2

The infolding of the cell membrane in prokaryotes which are rich in enzymes is called mesosome.

Explanation:

• Mesosomes are the infoldings of the plasma membrane mainly in the form of vesicles, tubules. First, this structure is seen in the gram-positive bacteria in 1953 by George B. Chapman and James Hillier.
• Mesosome performs a different functions and is rich in enzymes.
• Mesosome helps in the cell wall synthesis, replication of chromosome, oxidative phosphorylation, increasing the surface area of the plasma membrane for carrying out metabolic processes, etc.
