The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the statements provided and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement 1**: "The cell envelope consists of tightly bound three-layered structure of which plasma membrane is the innermost layer." - The cell envelope of prokaryotes indeed consists of three layers: the outer membrane, the peptidoglycan cell wall, and the innermost plasma membrane. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement 2**: "A specialized differentiated form of cell membrane called mesosome is the characteristic feature of the prokaryotes." - Mesosomes are indeed specialized structures formed by the invagination of the plasma membrane in prokaryotes. They are often associated with functions like cell division and DNA replication. This statement is **correct**. 3. **Evaluate Statement 3**: "Surface structures of bacteria like Flagella, Pili, Fimbriae play a major role in motility." - While flagella are indeed responsible for motility in bacteria, pili and fimbriae are primarily involved in attachment and not in motility. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate Statement 4**: "Gas vacuoles are found in blue-green and purple and green photosynthetic bacteria." - Gas vacuoles are structures that help certain bacteria maintain buoyancy and are found in cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria) as well as some purple and green photosynthetic bacteria. This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **Statement 3**: "Surface structures of bacteria like Flagella, Pili, Fimbriae play a major role in motility." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **Option 3**. ---
