Pigment-containing memberanous extensions in cyanobacteria are

  • heterocysts

  • basal bodies

  • pneumatophores

  • pneumatophores


D.

pneumatophores

Cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll but the chlorophyll is not located in chloroplasts, rather it is found in chromatophores, infolding of the plasma membrane, where photosynthesis is carried out.
Heterocysts are specialised nitrogen -fixing cells formed from a centriole and a short cylindrical array of microtubules.
Pneumatophores are lateral roots that grow upward for varying distance and function as the site of oxygen intake for the submerged primary roots.
