Answer 1

c. flagella is the organ of adhesion in bacteria

Answer 2

The organ of adhesion of bacteria is c) flagella.

Characteristics of flagella:

• Flagella is the bacterial adhesion organ. Adhesins are bacterial cell-surface components or appendages that aid in adhesion or adherence to other cells or surfaces, often the host they are infecting or living in.
• The flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) is a large cytoskeletal structure that links the flagellum skeleton to the cell body cytoskeleton via the flagellum and cell body membranes.
• Bacterial flagella are helically formed structures that contain the flagellin protein.
• The flagellum's base (the hook) is linked to the basal body, which is encased in the cell envelope. The flagellum rotates in either a clockwise or counterclockwise way, comparable to a propeller.
