In some prokaryotic organisms, the plasma membrane folds to form an internal membrane system that is able to
A) carry on photosynthesis.
B) engulf and phagocytize bacteria.
C) synthesize proteins.

E) hydrolyze carbohydrates to ATP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The folding of the plasma membrane in some prokaryotic organisms leads to the formation of an internal membrane system that can carry on photosynthesis. This is seen in photosynthetic bacteria such as cyanobacteria, which have thylakoid membranes that carry out photosynthesis.

Note: Options B, C, D, and E are not correct because they do not involve the function of internal membrane systems in prokaryotic organisms.
