Cocci
Cocci bacteria typically lack flagella. Cocci are spherical-shaped bacteria and are often found in chains or clusters. They rely on other mechanisms, such as pili, for movement and adhesion.
Flagella are typically found in animal cells, such as those of humans and other animals. Plant cells do not usually have flagella; instead, they may have structures called cilia or pseudopods for movement.
Gram-negative, spiral, and microaerophilic. Motile, with either unipolar or bipolar flagella, the organisms have a characteristic spiral/corkscrew appearance and are oxidase-positive
Flagella can vary in color among different organisms, but they are commonly found in shades of white, gray, or translucent. Some organisms may have flagella that are colorless or transparent due to their composition and structure.
False
The glass slide must be free of grease and oil before staining for flagella to ensure that the dye adheres properly to the bacterial flagella and the slide surface. Contaminants can create a barrier that interferes with the binding of the stain, leading to poor visualization of the flagella. Additionally, any residue may distort the morphology of the bacteria or obscure the flagella, resulting in inaccurate observations. Clean slides facilitate clearer, more reliable staining and microscopy results.
Yes, flagella is like a tail at the end of the cell that helps the cell move.
Cilia are short, hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells. Flagellaare long, tail like projections. Unlike ciliates, flagellates usually have one flagellum.
It is an enterobacillum with peritrichious flagella (some strains) that measures about 2 x 0.5 micrometers. Non-sporulating, fast replication and able to ferment different acids under anaerobium medium.
Flagella are longer and fewer in number compared to cilia. Flagella typically range from 10-200 micrometers in length and there are usually one to a few present per cell. Cilia, on the other hand, are shorter (usually 2-10 micrometers) and there are typically numerous cilia per cell.
Flagella are actually long, whip-like structures that protrude from the cell surface and are involved in cell movement. They are less numerous than cilia and are usually found singly or in pairs on a cell. Flagella help cells move by propelling them through the environment.
Cilia and flagella are hairlike structures in a cell that can move. They are involved in various cellular processes such as cell motility and the movement of fluid. Cilia are short and numerous, while flagella are longer and usually occur singly or in pairs.
