Consider the diagram of the basic structure of bacteria. which of the labeled structures in the diagram allows bacteria to infect organisms under harsh conditions, such as in the acidic stomach?

Ans.

Bacterial cells are simple prokaryotic cells, made up of capsule, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and nucleic acid. The structure that protects the bacteria under harsh conditions, such as high acidic environment of stomach and help them to infect hosts is known as slime layer or capsule.

It is made up of polysaccharide molecules and enhances the ability to cause disease (virulence) of bacteria.

Thus, the correct answer is 'capsule.'

This answer should be A) because the capsule allows bacteria to infect organisms under harsh conditions, such as in the acidic stomach. On edge.uity.

the correct answer in apex is tissue development, i know because i just had this question
