| Cell Membrane | Allows things to enter and blocks things from entering the cell |
| Flagella | Used for movement |
| Pilli | Allow bacteria to attach to other cells |
| Antibody | An antigen bonding immunoglobin, produced by b cells, that functions as an immune response |
| Conjugation | The one-way transfer of DNA between bacteria in cellular contact |
| Transduction | The transfer of genetic material from one organism to another by a genetic vector |
| Substrate | The reactant on which an enzyme works |
| Antigen | A foreign macromolecule that does not belong to the host organism and elicts an immune response |
