27. 1 structural and functional adaptations contribute to prokaryotic success (cid:1) eukaryotes is the presence of ______. One thing that e. coli and other bacteria have in common with. The three most common are spheres (cocci), rods (bacilli), and spirals (spirilli).

A capsule (a sticky layer of polysaccharide or protein) may cover the. Fimbriae and pilli allows prokaryotes to stick to their substrate or cell wall of many prokaryotes. other individuals in a colony.
