Which of the following performs respiration with the help of plasma membrane?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
In bacteria, which are prokaryotic organisms, membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria are absent. Consequently, cellular respiration—specifically the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation—occurs directly across the plasma membrane or its internal folds called mesosomes. These structures contain the necessary respiratory enzymes to generate energy (ATP) for the cell.
