    Question

    L-form bacteria do not possess:

    A.

    Cell wall

    B.

    Cell membrane

    C.

    Mesosome

    D.

    Ribosome

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is: A) Cell wall
    Explanation:
    L-form bacteria are a type of bacteria that have lost their cell wall. These bacteria are capable of existing without a rigid cell wall due to certain environmental conditions or genetic mutations. The absence of a cell wall makes them more flexible and capable of assuming various shapes.
    L-form bacteria still possess other cellular components, such as the cell membrane, mesosomes, and ribosomes, which are crucial for their survival and function.
    Information Key Points:
    • They are known for their ability to take on various shapes, such as spherical or filamentous.

    • They can revert to their normal cell wall-containing form under certain conditions.

    • L-form bacteria may be more resistant to certain antibiotics that target the cell wall.

    Additional Information (Other Options):
    • Cell membrane: L-form bacteria still have a cell membrane, which regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

    • Mesosome: Mesosomes are invaginations of the cell membrane in bacteria, and L-form bacteria still possess mesosomes.

    • Ribosome: Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis in all bacteria, including L-form bacteria, which still contain them.
