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.

How is invading bacteria detroyed?
The bacteria has tiny, oddly-shaped molecules on it's surface, which are different for every type of bacteria, these are called antigens. When a special type of white blood cell, called a lymphocyte, realises an invading bacteria is in the bloodstream, it starts to make tiny connectors called antibodies. These antibodies fit the antigens on the bacteria's surface, and join many bacteria together. Once lots of bacteria have been joined together, another type of white blood cell, called a phagocyte, engulfs them, and it will usually take a few days for all the bacteria to be destroyed.
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.
What does a cilliated epithelial cell do?
Cilia are tiny hairlike structures that can move back and forth allowing a cell to move through a medium such as water. the ciliated cells are found on the outside surfaces of that organism.Epithelial is a term usually having to do with the skin of larger organisms.This is what protects you from the bacteria that live in the intestines, many of which can cause disease if they enter your bloodstream.
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?

Does bacteria live in a moist environment?
One of the primary means of bacterial locomotion is the bacterial flagellum, a rotary " motor " that propels the bacteria whip like through water.
