How do ulothrix move?

Ulothrix moves by utilizing flagella, which are whip-like appendages that propel the organism through water. The flagella help Ulothrix move towards sources of light or nutrients to support its growth and survival in aquatic environments.


Does the Clostridium tetani have a flagella?

No, Clostridium tetani does not have flagella. It is a motile bacterium but it moves through peritrichous flagella-like structures called axial filaments or endoflagella, rather than the typical external flagella.


What are the difference in the flagella in prokaryotic and eucarkaryotic?

Eukaryotic flagella are quite different in structure and function to prokaryotic flagella.Bacterial flagella (as opposed to archaeal flagella - go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellum#Archaeal to investigate differences between bacterial and archaeal flagella) are composed of the protein flagellin, which is coiled around into a stiff filament. Movement of a bacterial cell is generated by rotation of the filament, a bit how like a propellor works. Reversing direction of rotation can change direction of movement.In eukaryotic flagella, the structure is more complex. The base of the eukaryotic flagella houses the foundation of the structure. Nine microtubule groups, each consisting of three microtubules, form the base of the flagella. Further away from the cell, the flagella is made up of two microtubule's connected by a bridge. Radial spokes branch out to nine pairs of microtubules that form a circle around a flagella transverse section (if you chop it in half and look at the exposed inside).A eukaryotic flagella moves its cell by sliding adjacent pairs of microtubules, which causes the flagella to bend. This bending creates movement. To see a good example, watch this video: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic-video/209243/16501/Movement-of-eukaryotic-flagella-in-real-time-and-slow-motion


Where is flagella?

Flagella is located as the 'tail' part of most cells, and this enables movement throughout the cell and body. For example, a sperm cell has flagella to make the cell move quickly for fertilization.


What is fungi motility?

Fungi are generally non-motile organisms, meaning they do not have the ability to move on their own. Instead, they rely on external factors like wind, water, or other organisms for dispersal. However, some fungi, such as yeast, can exhibit a limited form of motility using structures like flagella or pseudopodia.

How does a euglena use to move?

Euglena are flagellated unicellular organisms, so they move by beating their flagella.... somewhat like a tadpole.

What organ moves bacteria?

That doesn't make sense. There is no organ that "moves" bacteria. What do you mean by that? I think you want flagella. An organelle of bacteria.

How do peridinium move?

Peridinium move by using two flagella, which are whip-like extensions from their cell body. By beating these flagella in a coordinated way, peridinium can propel themselves through the water in a spinning motion.


Why are many mitochodria found in a cell that moves by means of cilia or flagella?

Cells that move by means of cilia or flagella require a high amount of energy to power the movement. Mitochondria are often concentrated near these structures because they produce ATP, the cell's energy currency, through cellular respiration. Having many mitochondria in these cells ensures a sufficient energy supply to support their movement.
