Eukaryotes do not have pili in the same way that prokaryotes (like bacteria) do. Instead, eukaryotic cells may have similar structures such as cilia and flagella, which are used for movement and sensory functions. Pili are primarily associated with prokaryotic cells for functions like adhesion and conjugation. Eukaryotic cells have more complex structures and mechanisms for interaction and movement.

Does ribosomes have pili?

Ribosomes are cell organells.They do not have pili.


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.


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 the composition of pili shell?

The pili shell has 3.2% moisture content, 11.9% volatile combustible matter, 11.1% ash and 77% fixed carbon.~Based on the book:"Pili Nut, Canarium Ovatum Engl" By Roberto E. Coronel


What is a function of the pili found on the surface of some bacteria?

Pili, or fimbriae, found on the surface of some bacteria help attach the bacteria to surfaces or other cells, aiding in their colonization and biofilm formation. They can also be involved in DNA exchange between bacteria through a process called conjugation.

Do all plant and animal cells have pili?

No, not all plant and animal cells have pili. Pili are small, hair-like structures found on certain types of bacteria that help in attaching to surfaces and transferring genetic material. Plants and animals do not have pili as part of their normal structure.
