The bacterial external appendages are pili, fimbriae, and flagella.
Solución
- Bacterial external appendages are structures on the surface of bacteria that assist in processes such as adhesion, motility, and conjugation.
- The appendages listed in the options are:
-
: Hair-like structures involved primarily in adhesion and conjugation. -
: Similar to pili but generally shorter and more numerous, used for adhesion. -
: Long, whip-like structures that provide motility.
-
-
: These are not found in bacteria; they are typically observed in eukaryotic cells. - Therefore, the bacterial external appendages are:
-
.

Bacteria are equipped with fascinating external appendages that serve various purposes, such as attachment, movement, and communication. Pili, thin hair-like structures, allow bacteria to adhere to surfaces and exchange genetic material, while fimbriae, which are similar but often shorter, help bacteria cling to host tissues, making them less likely to be flushed away.
Flagella, on the other hand, are the tail-like structures that provide motility, allowing bacteria to swim through liquid environments. Cilia, however, are not part of bacterial appendages; they belong to eukaryotic cells, like those found in some protozoa and human tissues, where they help in movement or moving substances along cell surfaces.
