2.08, question 7
Two prokaryotes are shown in the figure (The first depicts a respiratory membrane in an aerobic prokaryote and the second depicts a thylakoid membrane in a photosynthetic prokaryote) that have additional cellular membranes within the plasma membrane. What functions could the respiratory membranes and the thylakoid membranes provide?
A) The respiratory membrane provides a location to conduct the citric acid cycle.
B) These are both autotrophic evolutionary adaptations to allow organic molecule production.
C) The membranes allow a functional electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation of ATP.
D) The thylakoid membrane allows the fixation of CO2 during the Calvin Cycle.
