rotation of the flagellum is powered by a proton motive force (pmf) that is established when proteins associated with the basal body transport protons across the cell membrane, creating a charge differential across the membrane.

∙ 13y agoflagellated bacteria are motile because they posses a flagellum which is a small rotary whip like extension that propels the microbe around. Bacteria can have one or multiple flagella and motile bacteria can be seen migrating outward from a spike inoculation in agar agar filled test tubes.

What is the whip-like tail called?
Flagella. Flagella Flagellum (flagella is the plural form) flagella
How do plant cells use flagella?
Well the flagella works as a propeller to help the cells move. However plant cells dont actually have flagella or cilia because they dont need to move. Some plants (bryophytes?) have motile sperm that have flagella. Also, only prokaryotic flagella work like propellers. Eukaryotic flagella whip back and forth rather than rotating.
These are singular relatively long whiplike organelles that many unicellular organisms use for motion?
Cilia and flagella.
In wet mount preparations is it possible to see eukaryotic flagella procaryotic flagella why?
In wet mount preparations, is it possible to see eukaryotic flagella? prokaryotic flagella
How do flagella move?
Flagella move by flicking like little whips or by pulling themselves. Smooth flagella move by flicking and hairy flagella move by pulling.
How does flagella work in protoza?
Flagella propel protozoa through water. Sperm also have the same way of moving.

What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
Do eukaryotic cells contain flagella?
They have flagella with 9+2 structure.Bacterial flagella differs from it
Do protista have a flagella?
Yes, protista do have flagella.
What is the locomotory organ of euglena?
Flagella
What protist uses flagella?
No protists ure a flagella because only animal cells have a flagella.
Archaebacteria use what to move?
they use there but to push then they blow a bomb
These are singular relatively long whiplike organelles that many unicellular organisms use for motion?
Cilia and flagella.
What two movement organelles are missing in a cheek cell?
I think they're called flagella and cilia. The flagella work like propellers and the cilia are little moving hairs that let a cell crawl.
