Flagella are long hair-like structures and Cillia are short hair-like structures. They can both help with the movement of the bacteria and cillia could stop foreign material entering the bacteria cell.

Which best describes a pilus?
A tube that extends from a bacterium.
What is the type of coating on a bacteria cell?
In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and is essential to the survival of many bacteria. Bacteria have been classified into Gram-positive and Gram-negative based on the structure of the cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria possess thick cell wall consisting of many layers of peptidoglycan and teichoic acids. Gram-negative bacteria have relatively thin cell wall consisting of few layers of peptidoglycan.
How many bacteria can sit on bell pin?
Bacteria are invisible to the naked eye so: NONE.
How is invading bacteria detroyed?
Invasion by bacteria triggers the immune response, causing immune cells to attack and destroy the invading bacteria. Immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils engulf and digest the bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. Additionally, antibodies can bind to bacteria and mark them for destruction by immune cells.
What is a protective structure formed by bacteria?
A biofilm is a protective structure formed by bacteria. Biofilms are comprised of bacterial cells encased in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that adhere to surfaces. These structures provide protection and enable bacteria to persist in hostile environments.
What the surface of staphylococcus?
Staphlococci are bacteria with a round shape when viewed under a microscope. There are many types of staph bacteria. All bacteria have protein walls which are have a unique molecular structure to the type of bacterium, so only the correct antibody can fit this structure and destroy the bacterium cell.

How does the type of table effect the amount of bacteria?
A lot of it has to do with the very top surface of the table. If you are using wood, there are many gaps and pits and grooves which can trap bacteria which then multiplies. Conversely, if you use glass there are fewer pits on the surface and it will be much easier to clean.
Which statement is ture for bacteria?
There are many statements which are true for bacteria. Bacteria come in various shapes and they consist of a single cell. Bacteria are known to be small in size but very complex in terms of structure.
What is a fagellae?
a slender threadlike structure. a microscopic whiplike appendage that enables many protozoa, bacteria, spermatozoa, etc., to swim.
Does bacteria live in a moist environment?
Yes, many bacteria thrive in moist environments because water is essential for their growth and survival. Moisture helps bacteria to move, reproduce, and obtain nutrients from their surroundings. Dry environments can hinder bacterial survival by dehydrating and damaging their cell structures.
