Flagella allow cells to move throughout the body. An example of this is sperm. The flagellum give sperm the ability to propel itself through the female reproductive tract to fertilize an egg.
The purpose of flagella (sing., flagellum) is motility. Flagella are long appendages which rotate by means of a "motor" located just under the cytoplasmic membrane. For more information (and image), please see the related links section below.
Yes, that is actually their intended purpose. Many microbes have flagella to help them move around in their environment. The well known "tail" of a sperm cell is actually a flagella and what the sperm uses to move, or "swim", into the uterus.
to propel the cell through liquid
Flagella can be found in various types of cells, including prokaryotic cells (bacteria and archaea) and some eukaryotic cells, such as sperm cells. They are long, whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of the cell and are involved in cell motility and movement.
Flagella is the plural form of flagellum.

flagella stain Purpose: To determine the presence/absence and location of flagella on various microorganisms Principle: Because bacterial flagella are very thin and fragile a special stain (flagella stain) is prepared that contains a mordant. This mordant allows piling of the stain on the flagella, increasing the thickness until they become visible. Various arrangements of flagella are seen on different cells.

Yes, protista do have flagella.
No protists ure a flagella because only animal cells have a flagella.
they use there but to push then they blow a bomb
The scientific name for flagella is flagellum (singular) or flagella (plural). Flagella are whip-like structures used by cells for movement.
