Q: Identify the component that is uniquely found only in prokaryotes-
  • A. Chromosome
  • B. Mesosome
  • C. Nucleus
  • D. Nuclear membrane
Correct Answer: Option B - Mesosomes are infoldings in the plasma membrane of prokaryotic cells and are associated with the cellular processes of respiration and DNA replication. They are not found in eukaryotic cells which makes them unique to prokaryotes. Mesosomes increases the surface area, allowing for more enzymatic activities to take place.
