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.

What is pili pili?
An arrector pili is any of a group of small muscles attached to hair follicles in mammals, the contraction of which causes the hairs to stand on end.

Are arrector pili and epidermis related?
The arrector pili and epidermis are related only in that the action of the arrector pili causes "goosebumps" to form at the epidermis.
The transfer of genes during bacterial conjugation involves rigid tubular appendages called what?
They are called sex pili.

Omari Pili Johnson is 5' 9".
Is the word pili plural or singular?
A "Pilus" is the Latin for a hair, so following the Latin rules for plurals, the plural is "pili".
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.
