Yes, flagella can be observed in hanging-drop preparations, although they may be challenging to see due to their thin and flexible structure. This technique allows for the examination of live, motile organisms in a drop of liquid, providing a suitable environment to visualize flagellar movement. Staining methods can enhance visibility, but in unstained preparations, flagella may still be inferred through the movement patterns of the organisms.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the principal of flagellar staining?
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.
Archaebacteria use what to move?
they use there but to push then they blow a bomb
Why do you need a special staining procedure for flagella?
The mordant increases the affinity of cellular components for a dye. Therefore, the mordant allows the silver nitrate to attach strongly to the flagella, so that we can see them under a light microscope.
What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
In wet mount preparations is it possible to see eukaryotic flagella procaryotic flagella why?
Yes, it is possible to see eukaryotic flagella in wet mount preparations due to their larger size and more complex structure. However, prokaryotic flagella are much smaller and more difficult to visualize using this technique. They may require specialized staining methods or electron microscopy for better visibility.

True or false Ciliates use flagella for feeding and movement?
Ciliates are appropriately named because they use cilia.
What organelle would not be seen in a prokaryotic cell membrane nucleus ribisomes flagella and chromosomes?
2 x 2=4
What is plural for flagella?
Flagella is the plural form of flagellum.
Do protista have a flagella?
Yes, protista do have flagella.
What protist uses flagella?
No protists ure a flagella because only animal cells have a flagella.
Archaebacteria use what to move?
they use there but to push then they blow a bomb
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.
What is the definition of word flagella?
Flagella are whip-like structures that many unicellular and some multicellular organisms use for movement. They are composed of a protein called flagellin and can propel cells through liquids by rotating in a spiral motion.
What is the whip-like tail called?
Flagella. Flagella Flagellum (flagella is the plural form) flagella
