| Statement I: | In 1838, Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist, examined a large number of plants and observed that the presence of cell wall is a unique character of the plant cells. |
| Statement II: | In 1839, Theodor Schwann, a British Zoologist, studied different types of animal cells and reported that cells had a thin outer layer which is today known as the ‘plasma membrane’. |

| I: | The main chromosomal DNA is linear |
| II: | Plasmid DNA is circular |
| Statement I: | Besides flagella, Pili and Fimbriae are also surface structures of the bacteria but do not play a role in motility. |
| Statement II: | Pili and fimbriae help attach the bacteria to rocks in streams and also to the host tissues. |
