Structures: 1. Flagella - These whip-like appendages propel bacteria through their environments, facilitating movement and navigation. 2. Pili - Long, thin structures that enable bacteria to attach themselves to surfaces or interact with other bacterial cells. 3. Fimbriae - Short, hair-like appendages that aid in bacterial adhesion and attachment to host tissues or other bacteria. 4. Ribosomes - Cellular components responsible for protein synthesis and translation of genetic information into functional proteins. 5. Plasmids - Extrachromosomal DNA molecules that carry genes essential for bacterial survival, reproduction, and adaptation.
