The mordant increases the affinity of cellular components for a dye. Therefore, the mordant allows the silver nitrate to attach strongly to the flagella, so that we can see them under a light microscope.

What are the different type of flagella?

There are two main types of flagella: bacterial flagella, which are long, helical structures made of a protein called flagellin and are used for locomotion, and eukaryotic flagella, which are structurally more complex and are found in organisms like protozoa and sperm cells. Eukaryotic flagella are composed of microtubules and have a whip-like motion.


Is flagella a virus?

No, flagella are not viruses. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of certain cells, such as those of bacteria and some eukaryotic cells. They are used for movement. On the other hand, viruses are infectious particles that need a host cell to replicate.


How do humans use flagella?

The flagella are on bacteria but are also on a man's sperm. Not only does it help the bacteria move but it also helps the sperm move. Inorder to have a baby you first need to have a egg fertilized in a woman. The sperm from a man cannot get to fertilize the egg without the flagella helping them to move. Without the flagella we will not be able to repopulate.


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.


What cells contain flagella?

Flagella are commonly found in certain types of cells, such as sperm cells, some types of bacteria, and certain protists like Euglena. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that help these cells move through liquid environments.

Are flagella found in plant cells?

Flagella are not cells - they are extensions of cells that render the cell motile. (Think of it as a tail of some sort.) Sperms have flagella and other unicellular organisms such as paramecium and other organisms such as bacteria have flagella too. It isn't common for plant cells to have flagella.
