The structure of bacillus bacteria, which are rod-shaped, enhances their function by providing a larger surface area relative to their volume, facilitating efficient nutrient absorption and waste excretion. Their rigid cell wall, composed of peptidoglycan, offers protection and shape stability, allowing them to withstand various environmental stresses. Additionally, many bacilli can form endospores, enabling them to survive extreme conditions and ensuring their persistence in diverse habitats. This combination of structural features supports their adaptability and survival.
it depends upon the bacillus you are referring to. there are pathogenic (disease-causing) and non-pathogenic (non disease-causing) bacilli. if you are referring to bacilli which could aid in good digestion such as Bacillus clausii, you could actually get them from taking in prepared vials containing the actual microorganisms. some yogurts also contain such helpful bacilli.
Cilia in a bacterial cell function to facilitate movement, allowing the cell to propel itself through its environment. They are composed of protein structures that extend from the cell surface and aid in locomotion.
A capsule to a bacterium helps bacteria adhere to surfaces and resist flushing. Several bacteria that have capsules are klebsiella, pneumoniae, bacillus subtillus, and streptococcus pneumoniae.
BEcause the form is created to aid a specific function therefore deciding the function for the form. For example the foot, it is formed in a way to aid you walking, circulating blood and more. A foot cannot be forced into protecting the body against diseases, because it was not formed for that particular function.
This answer is highly variable, the lower intestine can only function due to beneficial bacteria that live in it, and many bacteria aid plants in using nitrogen as well as in defeating parasites, however their also are various hostile strains of bacteria that have negative impact on various animals and plants, so overall this answer can be considered either depending on context

The cecum and appendix in the digestive system serve as reservoirs for beneficial bacteria and aid in immune function.

it increases surface area for gas exchange which means that more oxygen is absorbed.
yes some bacteria help aid digestion
The sheath in bacteria functions as a protective layer that surrounds the cell wall, providing structural support and protection. It also helps bacteria adhere to surfaces and form biofilms, which can aid in their survival in harsh environments.
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.
Blue whales have bacteria in their intestines to aid digestion.
The meniscus in the knee joint has a structure and function similar to the acetabular labrum in the hip joint. Both structures are fibrocartilaginous discs that provide stability, cushioning, and aid in distributing forces within their respective joints.
