In many bacteria, what does the cell membrane become invaginated and folded to from?

The bacterial genome contains

identify the correct statement(s):
(i) The surface area available for cellular functions in an eukaryotic cell is more than that in a prokaryotic cell.
(ii) The total genome size of a prokaryotic cell is always less than that of a eukaryotic cell.
(iii) Unlike eukaryotes, no special respiratory organelles are found in prokaryotes. Hence, they respire at a much lesser rate than eukaryotes.
(iv) Eukaryotic cells show various membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts and nucleus while ribosomes are the only membrane-bound organelles found in prokaryotes.

Choose the correct statement.
A) Mesosomes are exterior extensions of the plasma membrane outside the cell.
B) In prokaryotic cells filamentous extensions of cell walls are called flagella.
C) The membrane of the erythrocyte has nearly protein and lipids.
