The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Select the wrong statement," we will analyze each of the provided statements regarding bacterial structure and function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan.** - This statement is **true**. Bacterial cell walls are primarily composed of peptidoglycan, which is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids. 2. **Statement 2: Pili and fimbriae are mainly involved in motility of bacterial cells.** - This statement is **false**. Pili and fimbriae are structures that help bacteria adhere to surfaces and are not primarily involved in motility. The main structure responsible for bacterial motility is the flagellum. 3. **Statement 3: Cyanobacteria lack flagellated cells.** - This statement is **true**. Cyanobacteria do not have flagella and move by gliding or sliding motion rather than swimming. 4. **Statement 4: Mycoplasma is a wall-less microorganism.** - This statement is **true**. Mycoplasma are a genus of bacteria that do not have a cell wall, which makes them unique among bacteria. ### Conclusion: The wrong statement among the options is **Statement 2: Pili and fimbriae are mainly involved in motility of bacterial cells.**
