What scientific name for flagella?

The scientific name for flagella is flagellum (singular) or flagella (plural). Flagella are whip-like structures used by cells for movement.


Is it flagellum or flagella?

both are used


A long hairlike strucutre used for movement?

Flagella


Is a whip like structure used for movement?

Flagella


Why did you use a young culture for flagella stain?

Using a young culture for flagella staining ensures that the bacterial cells are actively growing and able to produce flagella. Flagella are more likely to be present and intact on cells in a young culture compared to older cultures where flagella might have been lost or damaged over time. This increases the chances of successfully observing and staining the flagella.


Do fungi have flagella?

Some fungi have flagella, which are used for motility. Not all fungi have flagella, but those that do use them for movement in their environment. Flagella help fungi navigate through liquids and aid in their dispersal and growth.


Eukaryotic flagella differ from prokaryotic flagella because only eukaryotic flagella?

contain a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules with dynein motor proteins for movement, while prokaryotic flagella have a simpler structure and are powered by a different mechanism. Eukaryotic flagella are also typically longer and are used for cell motility or moving fluids, whereas prokaryotic flagella are used for propulsion of the entire cell.


What is flagella and what are they used for?

They are tiny hair like things on bacteria to help it fell and move


Does a flagella have a long tail?

Flagella are long, whip-like structures that protrude from the cell membrane of certain microorganisms, such as bacteria and sperm cells. They are used for locomotion by generating a swimming motion. The term "long tail" is not typically used to describe flagella.


Longer whip like structures used for movement?

Flagella are long whip-like appendages used by some cells for movement. They are powered by a protein motor that spins the flagellum like a propeller, allowing the cell to swim through its environment. Flagella are found in various organisms, including bacteria, archaea, and some eukaryotic cells.


What is the function of flagella?

Flagella are whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of some cells and are involved in cell motility. They allow cells to move in their environment by propelling themselves with a whipping motion. Flagella are found in various types of cells, such as sperm cells and certain bacteria.


These are singular relatively long whiplike organelles that many unicellular organisms use for motion?

Flagella are long, whiplike organelles found in many unicellular organisms that are used for movement. They propel the cell by generating a whip-like motion that helps the organism navigate through its environment. Flagella are composed of microtubules and are typically found in pairs or singly.
