MCQ
Select the wrong statement.
  • A
    Bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan.
  • ✓
    Pili and fimbriae are mainly involved in motility of bacterial cells.
  • C
    Cyanobacteria lack flagellated cells.
  • D
    Mycoplasma is a wall­less microorganism.
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Pili and fimbriae are mainly involved in motility of bacterial cells.
b
(b) : Pili and fimbriae are bacterial appendages which are not involved in locomotion. Actually, pili are long fewer and thicker tubular outgrowths which develop in response to $F^+$ or fertility factor in Gram negative bacteria. Being long they are helpful in attaching to recipient cell and forming conjugation tube. Fimbriae are small bristle­like fibres sprouting from cell surface in large number. There are $300-­400$ of them per cell. They are involved in attaching bacteria to solid surfaces.
