it is the 'tail' of some cells, for example the sperm cell. flagellums that contain mitochondria (like the sperm) cell are known as energy flagellum, as the mitochondria in them energy for activities such as movement (or swimming to the ovum for the sperm cell)
A flagellum is a long, thread-like organelle used by many microscopic organisms for locomotion and feeding.
The noun "whip"
It contains the mitochandia which releases energy for the flagellum (tail) to move.
I think you mean flagellum. They help bacteria move.
If you mean flagella, that is the plural of flagellum. A flagellum is a long tapered extension of a microorganism, like a tail, utilized for mobility somewhat similarly to the tail of a fish.
Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy. If the "midpoint" of a sperm is where the flagellum attaches to the head of the sperm, then the mictochondria are there to provide energy needed to move the flagellum, therefor moving the sperm.
"Flagellum" in Latin means "whip" or "lash", and it is often used to refer to a whip-like structure that some microorganisms use for propulsion.

No, Flagellum is singular, flagellais plural. The word flagellum is derived from Latin, meaning whip
An analogy to the flagellum is a motorized boat engine. Just as a boat engine propels the vessel through water using a rotating propeller, a flagellum moves microorganisms through liquid environments by whipping or rotating. Both systems convert energy into motion, allowing for movement and navigation in their respective mediums.
The flagellum was a whip used by Egyptians
