Structure and Function of Bacterial Cell Components A key objective of this chapter is to identify the function of each of the structures associated with bacterial cells. This activity requires you to match the function with its appropriate cellular location. Drag the function to the appropriate cell structure.

Solution

Protein synthesis- ribosomes

Attachment to other bacteria and to surfaces- Fimbriae

Genetic information of the cell- DNA

Conduit for transfer of DNA from one cell to another- Pili

Protection from phagocytosis- Cell wall

Location of respiratory enzymes- Plasma membrane

Motility- Flagella

Protection of cell from osmotic lysis- Cell wall
