    Question: Mesosomes are well developed in:

    Options:

    Gram +ve bacteria
    E. Coli
    Yeast
    Mycoplasma

    ✅Explanation:
    Mesosomes are convoluted invaginations of the plasma membrane observed in some bacteria. They were once thought to play a role in various cellular processes, such as cell wall synthesis and respiration. However, their existence and function are now debated. Nonetheless, mesosomes, when observed, are typically more prominent and well-developed in Gram-positive bacteria.

    📌 Key Points:
    -Mesosomes was discovered by F. James. 
    -Bacterial cell membrane that develops as an ingrowth from the plasma membrane.
    -They increase the surface area of the plasma membrane 
    -These are functionally mitochondria like structures.
    -Mesosomes are present only in Aerobic bacteria.
    Explanation-
    -The mesosomes are of two types based on position and function.
    -Peripheral mesosome- Situated near the cell membrane in the peripheral part and their main function is cell respiration and cell wall secretion. Which is analogous to mitochondria.
    -Central mesosomes- Situated in the cytoplasm and their main function is providing help in DNA replication and cell division.
