It is normal for the euglena to have a flagellum. Of course, any creature can suffer a trauma, or a birth defect or illness, or mutation, which can cause it to lose a part of its normal anatomy. I'm sure that there do exist some euglena which are missing the flagellum, much as there are some people who are missing legs.

What structures are used for motility in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes use structures called flagella for motility. These are like little paintbrushes that help cells move around in their environment. Just imagine them dancing gracefully through the water, spreading joy wherever they go.

What is archaea locomotion?

Archaea do not have a defined means of locomotion like bacteria or eukaryotes. Some archaea can move using flagella, pili, or by gliding along surfaces, but they are generally not as motile as bacteria. Archaea can also be transported passively by water currents or wind.


What is example of a flagellate?

Euglena and zaporia are flagellates, as are dinoflagelletes and zooflagellates. Flagellates are protozoans that use their flagella organelle to move. Protozoa are also unicellular eukaryotes.


Is flagellum prokaryotic?

Flagellum is a whip-like structure used for movement in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, flagella rotate to propel the cell. In eukaryotic cells, such as sperm cells, flagella also provide motility.

What are Hair like structures that move materials along the outer surface of the cell?

Cilia and flagella are hair-like structures that protrude from the surface of cells and are involved in movement. They can help propel cells or move substances across the cell surface.
