What is the function of cilia in a bacteria cell?
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.
Do anaerobic bacteria have flagella?
Some methanogenic bacteria (which are anaerobic) do have flagella. You can read more in the related link
Why does a bacteria have a flagella?
Some bacteria have flagella, some only have one flagellum, and some just float around like a leaf in a river
What are the functions of flagella in bacteria?
Flagella on any cell (including bacteria) move it towards some goal.
Some bacteria has flagella that help them do what?
move

What term best describes the function of the flagella in bacteria?

What do some bacteria use to move?
Flagella

move
What is the whip-like appendage called on some bacteria?
Some bacteria have a whip-like tail called aflagellum. This structure is essential for locomotion, or motility.
Do all bacteria have flagellum?
No. Only some bacteria have a flagellum.
What is the role of the flagella in a bacteria cell?
The role of a flagella in a bacterial cell is motility. Through the back and forth movements of the flagella bacteria can propel themselves through their environment. The flagella also help bacteria undergo chemotaxis, the ability to move away from some stimuli and move towards others.
What bacteria shapes are locomotion?
Some bacteria have flagella, which appearance resembles a long thin tail. They use this to move around. Others "squirm" and glide.
Can flagella be pathogenic?
Flagella is a part of the cell which allows the cell to move. Bacteria which have flagella are not always pathogenic. Some, like Heliobacter pylori have a flagella and cause stomach ulcers in some patients. Thus, a flagella is not an indication of pathogenicity.
