What is the function of the structure identified by the red arrow? (2 points) the image shows a bacterium with long tail-like projections streaming from it. the red arrow points to these projections.

the right answer must be fimbria.

in the field of bacteriology, we call fimbria, the small pilis that characterize many bacteria.

fimbria are proteinaceous appendages (consisting of filament-forming helical pilin subunits) found in many gram-negative bacteria that are thinner and shorter than flagellae.

they are not able to rotate and do not have complex basal bodies.

they fuse to form they have half as many chromosomes as a somatic cell of the same individual. b

ya the other dude is right
