What protein is the filament in a bacterial flagellum made of?
The filament in a bacterial flagellum is made of a protein called flagellin. Flagellin forms the helical structure of the flagellum filament, providing the bacterium with motility.
What is on a sperms tail?
A sperm's tail, also known as a flagellum, is responsible for propelling the sperm forward toward the egg during fertilization. It is made up of proteins and microtubules that generate the whip-like movement required for the sperm to swim.
What part of bacterial cells aids in movement?
Motile
The organelle that is compared to a whip is a?
Flagellum
What is plural for flagella?
Flagella is the plural form of flagellum.
What protein is the filament in a bacterial flagellum made of?
The filament in a bacterial flagellum is made of a protein called flagellin. Flagellin forms the helical structure of the flagellum filament, providing the bacterium with motility.
Some bacterial cells have a flagellum?
The bacterial flagellum is made up of the protein flagellin,this "hook" allows the axis of the helix to point directly away from the cell. The basal body has several traits in common with some types of secretory pores.
Do plants have bacterial flagellum?
No
What is the function of a bacterial fiagellum?
A flagellum is a hair like structure that protrudes from the body of a prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism. Its primary function is for locomotion.
How does flagellum relate to creation?
Briefly, flagellum relates to creation of life because of "irreducible complexity." Even Darwin himself stated that if anyone found a biological structure that can not live over time to become more complex, then his theory would fall apart. Flagellum provide that proof. Irreducible complexity is if any part is missing, or defective, the machine won't work. This includes biological machines. Flagellum can not be made gradually because they need many working parts for anything to work or continue.
What is the flagellum made up of?
microtubulesANSWERThis answer depends on what kind of a cell being spoken of. There is a difference between the make up of eukaryotic cells versus prokaryotic cells. If you are talking about Eukaryotic cells, than simply put, it is microtubules. However, if you are talkin about bacterial flagellum, these are made from a protein called flagellin.
What are some examples of irreducibly complex systems?
An eye and flagella Creationists commonly put forward the eye or the bacterial flagellum as examples of irreducibly complex systems that could not have evolved from simpler systems. However, neither the eye nor the bacterial flagellum is really irreducibly complex. Scientists can point to primitive eyes, going back to merely light-sensitive areas of skin. An evolutionary progression can readily be deduced. The bacterial flagellum is a complex structure that allows a bacterium to move around in a liquid, and indeed the flagellum would not work as such if any key component were removed. However, there are similar bacterial structures that contain most, but not all, the components of the flagellum and which perform useful functions. The type III secretory system, a molecular syringe which bacteria use to inject toxins into other cells, is one such structure. Whether the bacterial flagellum evolved from the type III secretory system or from another bacterial system, the existence of the type III secretory system proves that the bacterial flagellum is not irreducibly complex.

What makes the bacterial cell move?
Bacterial cells can move by many ways, including "swimming" through water via the bacterial flagellum (although at the scale of a bacterial cell, the intermolecular forces between water molecules become so great that swimming would be more like drilling through sand or very thick mud). The bacterial flagellum has achieved some fame through the Intelligent Design movement as the poster boy ofirreducible complexity. However, science has now answered how the bacterial flagellum probably evolved (scientists have identified a structure very simple to the bacterial flagellum that injects poison into other cells) and Michael Behe's "theory" irreducible complexity is thoroughly debunked.

What is a locomotive structure made up of microtubules?
A locomotive structure made up of microtubules is likely a cilium or flagellum. These structures are found on the surface of cells and are involved in cell movement, either by acting as a sensory antenna (cilium) or by propelling the cell (flagellum) through the movement of microtubules.
What part of bacterial cells aids in movement?
Motile
