Answer:

Please find the cell structure with their best descriptions below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Capsule: Capsules are one of the Glycocalyx that firmly attaches to the cell surface and helps the cell avoid phagocytosis.

2. Slime layer: Slime layer is the other Glycocalyx that is loosely attached to the cell surface and helps the cell prevent dessication.

3. Flagella: The flagella is a long whip-like cell structure found in bacteria and some protists and principally used for moving.

4. Conjugation pilus: Conjugation pilus is a cell structure in bacteria that is used to transfer DNA to another bacteria cell.

5. Fimbriae: Fimbriae is a short, bristle-like protein that project from cell surface and help cells attach to surfaces of other cells.

6. Cell wall: Cell wall is a cellular structure found in plant cell and bacteria cells, whose function is to protect cells from harsh conditions and helps maintain cell shape.

7. Cell membrane: The cell membrane controls passage of substances into and out of the cell.

8. Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is a gelatinous material found inside the cell.

9. Inclusions: Inclusions are structures in cells that formed from the deposits of nutrients.

10. Endospores: Endospores are structures that protect bacterial genome in a dormant state under adverse environmental condition.

11. Ribosomes: Ribosomes are organelles in a cell that makes polypeptide (protein).

12. Mycolic acid: Mycolic acid is a waxy molecule (long fatty acid chain) that is found in some gram positive bacteria and associated with their cell wall.

13. Nucleoid: A nucleoid is a region in prokaryotic cell where chromosomal DNA and DNA-associated proteins are concentrated.

14. Pili: Pili is similar to the Fimbriae but longer and contain less numerous protein appendages than fimbriae used in attachment.
