Question

Pick the correct match for structure of bacteria.

• A. A- Flagellum, B- Ribosome, C - Plasma membrane, D- Pili, E- Nucleoid region, F- Capsule, G- Cytoplasm, H- Plasmid
• B. A- Flagellum, B- Ribosome, C- Mitochondria, D- Plasma membrane, E- Pili, F- Capsule, G- Golgi, H- Plasmid
• C. A- Flagellum B- ER, C- Ribosome, D- Plasma membrane, E- Pili, F- Capsule, G- Golgi, H- Plasmid
• D. A- Flagellum, B- Ribosome, C- Cytoplasm, D- Pili, E- DNA, F- Capsule, G- Plasma membrane, H- Plasmid

Answer 1

The correct option is D A- Flagellum, B- Ribosome, C- Cytoplasm, D- Pili, E- DNA, F- Capsule, G- Plasma membrane, H- Plasmid

Label A refers to flagella which are the elongated filament-like structure used for the purpose of locomotion.

Label B refers to the ribosome which is involved in protein synthesis.

Label C refers to cytoplasm which is the fluid matrix material inside the cell.

Label D refers to pili which are involved in the process of conjugational gene transfer.

Label E refers to chromosomal DNA which is the genetic material of the bacterium.

Label F refers to the capsule which is the protective covering of the cell made up of polysaccharides.

Label G refers to a plasma membrane which is a semi-permeable membrane made up of lipids and proteins.

Label H refers to the plasmid which is the extrachromosomal DNA responsible for antibiotic and disease resistance.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
