Are surface appendages that allow a bacterium to siick to a surface?
pili
What are bacterial pili?
Pili are tiny, hollow projections that are used in attachment to surfaces. They have nothing to do with motility. There are two types 1.) long conjugation pili, that aide in transfer of genetic material. 2.)Attachmetn pili or fimbriae, that help bacteria adhere to surfaces. Hope that helps!!!
What is a function of the pili found on the surface of some bacteria?
There are two types of pili found on some bacteria. Sex pili are used by bacteria to transfer plasmids during conjugation. Common pili (fimbrae) are used to stick to surfaces.
What allow prokaryotes to attach to surfaces and to each other and allows them to transfer DNA?
pili
Does ribosomes have pili?
Ribosomes are cell organells.They do not have pili.
What surface appendages that allow a bacterium to stick to a surface.?

pili
What are surface appendages that allow a bacterium to stick to a surface.?
pili
What cover the outside of all prokaryotes?
Along the surface of some bacteria are structures called pili that help bacteria adhere to surfaces
How would the formation of bacterial colonies be affected if bacterial cells did not contain pili?
Pili is important to colonial bacteria because it protects the surface of its cells. In addition, it allows the bacteria to adhere to other organisms.

What is the analogy of Pili?
The Pili sometimes called as sex pili is an analogy to sexual reproduction because they allow for the exchange of genes via the formation of mating pairs.

What do pili adhere to bacteria for and what is this function called?
pilli is used for adhesion to substatum and some sex pilli are used in reproduction
What is the function of the pili in a prokaryote cell?
Pili are the fine hair like projections present on the bacterial cell surface. Only one or few pili are present on the cell surface. They are genetically determined, and are used for attachment in case of pathogenic bacteria. The sex pili are involved in bacterial conjugation and are found exclusively on the cells that donate DNA during this process.
