Unit 5 - Into the Bacteria Cell Questions
and answers
Pilli - correct answer-Hollow tubes used to move cells or exchange DNA between bacteria by
conjunction.
Flagella - correct answer-A long, whip-like filament that helps in cell motility (movement).
Many bacteria are flagellated, and sperm are flagellated.
Bacterial Cell Wall - correct answer-composed of peptidoglycan, provides structure and
protection for bacterial cells
Cell Membrane - correct answer-thin, flexible barrier around a cell; regulates what enters
and leaves the cell
Vesicle - correct answer-Small membrane-bound sac that functions in moving products into,
out of, and within a cell. Can also contain proteins to aid the cell in digestion.
Cytosol - correct answer-liquid interior of the cell that surrounds cell's internal structures
DNA - correct answer-deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all
living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic
information.
Ribosome - correct answer-Cytoplasmic organelles that makes proteins. Can be found in
plant, animal, and bacterial cells.
