 Write the name of each part labeled A, B, C, D, E, F and G of the bacterial cell. Match each part with its
function. [7 marks]

Label Part Function

A Moves the cell

B Site of protein synthesis

C Regulates movement of materials into

and out of the cell

D Carries genetic information // Location

of the cell’s DNA (genetic material)

E Protects the cell and assists in

attaching the cell to other surface

F Assist the cell in attaching to other

surface (cell-to-cell contact), which is
involved in reproduction and genetic
recombination.

G Protect the cell, give shape to the cell,

and to classify bacteria

Part C: Viruses

Listed are some features of microorganisms. Indicate with a ‘Yes’ or’ No” if such statement are found in the
viruses. [5 marks]

No. Characteristic Yes /No

1. Considered the only living organisms.
2. Do not have a cellular structure.
3. Genetic material made of one strand (DNA or RNA)
4. Genetic material enclosed in a plasma membrane
5. Do not own metabolism
