Match the following bacterial cell components to their major functions:
a. motility
b. determine cell shape; support and protect plasma membrane.
c. conjugation (exchange of plasmid dna between cells)
d. cell attachment
e. protein synthesis
f. genetic material (dna) storage
selectabcdef 1. cell wall
selectabcdef 2. nucleoid
selectabcdef 3. ribosomes
selectabcdef 4. fimbriae
selectabcdef 5. pilus
selectabcdef 6. flagella

The correct options are cell wall- B,  nucleoid- F,  ribosome- E,  fimbriae- D, pilus- C and flagella- A.

Explanation:

1. Bacterial cell wall- is an outer layer which is made of peptidoglycan or murein which provides structural support to the bacteria present outside the plasma membrane.

2. Nucleoid- an irregularly shaped region without nuclear membrane which contains the genophore or genetic material of bacteria.

3. Ribosome- are the organelle which is involved in the process of translation that is the synthesis of protein.

4. Fimbriae- thin and short appendage of the cell which helps in the attachment of the cell thus also called "attachment pilus".

5. Pilus- hairlike appendages which are involved in the horizontal transfer of genes through conjugation so also known as "conjugation pilus".

6. Flagella- hair-like appendage made up of microtubules which helps in locomotion of organisms.  

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

1. a tropical dry forest carries out more rapid nutrient cycling

b. read the phase at the intersection of any given temperature and pressure.
