What else can I help you with?
What bacteria shapes are locomotion?
Some bacteria have flagella, which appearance resembles a long thin tail. They use this to move around. Others "squirm" and glide.
What do you call tail-like structures that allow sperm to move?
Flagellum
What is the long tail like structures that move the entire cell?
The long tail-like structures that move the entire cell are called flagella. Flagella are whip-like appendages that enable motility in various single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, as well as in some multicellular organisms like sperm cells. By rotating or undulating, flagella propel the cell through its environment, facilitating movement toward or away from stimuli. Their structure typically consists of a core of microtubules surrounded by a membrane, allowing for efficient locomotion.
Do sperms have flagella?
This is kinda gross. I suppose they have a flagella so they can "swim" up the vagina to find the egg. No other cell needs to "swim." The flagella acts as a tail.
What structures if present allow bacteria to move?
A bacteria moves using a structure called the flagellum, which resembles a tail.
What is the whip-like tail called?
Flagella. Flagella Flagellum (flagella is the plural form) flagella
What are the long tail likestructures aiding in cell movement called?
In a Prokaryotic cell, these structures are the flagella.
What bacteria shapes are locomotion?
Some bacteria have flagella, which appearance resembles a long thin tail. They use this to move around. Others "squirm" and glide.
What is the whip-like appendage called on some bacteria?
Some bacteria have a whip-like tail called aflagellum. This structure is essential for locomotion, or motility.
What are some analogies for flagella?
An analogy for flagella might be a fish. the fishes tail propels it forward.
What is the function of Flagilla?
If you mean flagella, that is the plural of flagellum. A flagellum is a long tapered extension of a microorganism, like a tail, utilized for mobility somewhat similarly to the tail of a fish.
Tail like projections that propel the cell?
Flagella
What is the structure of th tail of the sperm?
Similar to flagella .
Is flagella a virus?
No, flagella are not viruses. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of certain cells, such as those of bacteria and some eukaryotic cells. They are used for movement. On the other hand, viruses are infectious particles that need a host cell to replicate.
What is the whip like tail called?
Flagellum (flagella is the plural form)
Does flagella move?
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.
Is flagella a prokayotes or eukaryotes?
A flagellum( plural: flagella) is a tail-like projection that protrudes from the cell body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
