What is the process in which bacterial cell takes in which DNA released by a different bacterial cell?
Transformation.
How are bacterial cell and human body cell similar?
*there are made of cells *there the basic unite of structure and function *there are cells produced from other cells
What One structure that is in an plant cell but not an bacterial or animal cell?
The vacuole, permanent vacuole, mitochondria or chloroplast in found only in a plat cell not in a bacterial cell
What is the function of the cell walls in bacterial cells?
the cell wall gives the bacteria its shape and aside that protects the bacteria from bursting due to high osmotic pressure that can be built in the cell..
A bacterial cell that has taken up plasmid DNA is?
A bacterial cell that has taken up plasmid DNA is transformed.
Which portions of a bacterial cell aid the ability of a bacterium to cause infections?
Fimbriae
What is the function of cilia in a bacteria cell?
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.
Which cell structure has a role in the initiation of disease?
Fimbriae. they can help bacteria adhere
Short appendages used by some bacterial cells for adhering to surfaces called?
fimbriae
Function of cell wall in bacteria?
keep its shape, prevent the bacterial cell from bursting.
What portions of the bacteria cell aid the ability of a bacterium to cause infection?
fimbriae
What is the function of a slime capsule in a bacterial cell?
The slime capsule protects the Bacterium from desiccation ( drying out )
What are parts of bacterial cell?
a cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living things wich means the parts of a bacteria cell are called organisims!:)
Do prokaryotes have boundaries like eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes have cell boundaries like eukaryotes. It has a cell membrane and a cell wall. There are two types of cell walls: Gram + or Gram-. The exterior of the cell usually has glycocalyx, flagellum, fimbriae, and pili. The glycocalyx can be sticky (a capsule) or loose (a slime layer). The flagellum look like whips and can help move the cell. The fimbriae look like short hairs and allow the cell to attach. The pili are longer than the fimbriae and shorter than the flagella. These allow the transfer of DNA from the cell to another cell.
Cytoplasm has what function in a bacterial cell?
kills all of the bad STDs and gives you HIV simplex 2
What are the parts of bacterial cells?
