Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacterial pili are used for locomotion. They are long, thin, hair-like structures that extend from the bacterial cell surface and aid in movement across surfaces and attachment to other cells or surfaces.

Note: None of the other answer choices are accurate functions of bacterial pili. Bacterial pili do not play a role in organization of the nuclear material, assisting in protein synthesis, energy production, or cell membrane construction.
