MIC 121 MCB 102 BACTERIA Objective Question

Question

In bacteria, which structure houses electron transport chain components for cellular respiration and serves as the site of energy (ATP) production?
Options
A Nucleoid
B Ribosomes
C Cytoplasmic membrane
Correct Answer
D Cell wall
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 37 states that the 'Cytoplasmic membrane... houses electron transport chain components for cellular respiration and serves as the site of energy (ATP) production', fulfilling roles that mitochondria perform in eukaryotes.

Hint

Since bacteria lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, another structure must perform this vital function.
