Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we study the longitudinal response function for quasielastic electron scattering from nuclear matter. In QMC the coupling constant between the scalar ($\sigma$) meson and the nucleon is expected to decrease with increasing nuclear density, because of the self-consistent modification of the structure of the nucleon. The reduction of the coupling constant then leads to a smaller contribution from relativistic RPA than in the Walecka model. However, since the electromagnetic form factors of the in-medium nucleon are modified at the same time, the longitudinal response function and the Coulomb sum are reduced by a total of about 20% in comparison with the Hartree contribution. We find that the relativistic RPA and the nucleon structure variation both contribute about fifty-fifty to the reduction of the longitudinal response.
