Explanation:
All of the various surface components of a bacterial cell are important in its ecology since they mediate the contact of the bacterium with its environment. The only "senses" that a bacterium possesses result from its immediate contact with its environment. It must use its surface components to assess the environment and respond in a way that supports its own existence and survival in that environment. The surface properties of a bacterium are determined by the exact molecular composition of its membrane and cell envelope, including capsules, glycocalyx, S layers, peptidoglycan and LPS, and the other surface structures, such as flagella and pili or fimbriae.
