In Bacteria,the Cell Membrane Functions in the All of the Following

Question

In bacteria,the cell membrane functions in the all of the following ways except:
A)regulate movement of materials into and out of the cell
B)synthesizes cell wall components
C)serve as the site for protein synthesis
D)assists with DNA replication

Accepted Answer

The cell membrane in bacteria does not serve as the site for protein synthesis. That function is carried out by ribosomes that are found either floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the cell membrane in some cases. The other options are true; the cell membrane regulates movement of materials, synthesizes cell wall components, and assists with DNA replication in bacteria.
