Which structures perform the function of mitochondria in bacteria?

  1. Nucleoid
  2. Ribosomes
  3. Cell wall
  4. Mesosomes

Correct answer: Mesosomes

Solution

Mesosomes are membrane infoldings in bacteria that were traditionally described as helping with respiration and other energy-related processes, analogous to mitochondria in eukaryotes. The other options have different roles: nucleoid stores DNA, ribosomes make proteins, and the cell wall provides support.
