Pili are the filaments that help some bacteria stick to surfaces and exchange plasmids through conjugation.
Pili are hollow, hair like appendages that are found on the surface of some bacterial cells. Pili are composed of a special protein (known as pilin). Pilia act as a means of attachment of bacteria to surfaces (such as their host) and it is also used by bacteria to exchange their genetic material (plasmids) in the mating process between cells (known as conjugation).
Pulmonary and systemic circulation.
20% would be guanine.
All 4 bases must equal 100.
30 thymine+30 adenine=60
100-60=40 of guanine and cytosine
40÷2=20 is just guanine

Answer:
Functions of the bones in the human body:
Support, protection, movement, mineral homeostasis
Explanation:
- Support: the bones provide a rigid support frame for muscles and soft tissues.
- Protection: the bones form several cavities that protect the internal organs from possible trauma. For example, the skull protects the brain against blows, and the rib cage, formed by ribs and sternum protects the lungs and heart.
- Movement: thanks to the muscles that are inserted into the bones through the tendons and their synchronized contraction, movement occurs.
- Mineral homeostasis: the bone tissue stores a series of minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, necessary for muscle contraction and many other functions. When necessary, the bone releases these minerals in the blood that distributes them to other parts of the body.
