Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 6A
Bacteria lack independent internal membrane systems, but are able to perform photosynthesis and respiration, both of which use membranes. They are able to perform these functions because
a. they actually have internal membranes, but only for these functions.
b. invaginations of the plasma membrane can provide an internal membrane surface.
c. they take place outside of the cell between the membrane and the cell wall.
d. they use protein-based structures to take the place of internal membranes.
