The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

: Chromatophore is a pigmented lamellar or vesicular structure that can be isolated from disrupted photosynthetic bacteria or cyanobacteria. Their plasma membrane may be projected in folds into the cytoplasm forming lamellae that have, therefore, double unit- membrane structure. The pigments and most of the enzymes required for the light-induced electron transport and phosphorylation processes of photosynthesis, are located in the plasma membrane and lamellae.

Characteristics of Monera Kingdom

The organisms in this kingdom have the following characteristics: -

  • Monerans are single-celled creatures.
  • The cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan and is stiff.
  • Binary fission is asexual reproduction.
  • They have 70S ribosomes in them.
  • The locomotory organ is the flagella.
  • Organelles such as mitochondria, lys
  • osomes, plastids, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, centrosome, and others are not present.
  • These are decomposers and mineralizers for the environment
