Inward folds of the plasma membrane of a prokaryotic cell produced the _____ of eukaryotic cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inward folds of the plasma membrane of a prokaryotic cell eventually led to the development of the endomembrane system in eukaryotic cells, which includes the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. However, mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have evolved through the process of endosymbiosis rather than inward folding of the plasma membrane.
