Q.172) Mesosomes are specialized membranous structures found in prokaryotic cells, particularly bacteria. These infoldings of the plasma membrane play a crucial role in important cellular functions such as cell wall formation during cell division, DNA replication, and respiration. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles, so mesosomes help compensate for some of those functions.
