Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Mycoplasma lack a cell wall and consequently do not have mesosomes. Mesosomes are specialized membranous structures in many prokaryotes formed by the extension of the plasma membrane into the cell wall; since Mycoplasma are "wall-less," these structures are absent. Instead, Mycoplasma perform respiration through their plasma membrane, which contains the necessary respiratory enzymes.
