What is the flagellar arrangement with flagella on all sides of the bacterial cell?

The flagellar arrangement with flagella on all sides of the bacterial cell is called "peritrichous flagellation." In peritrichous flagellation, flagella are distributed all over the surface of the bacterial cell, allowing for movement in multiple directions.


The term that refers to the presence of flagella all over the cell surface?

The term is "peritrichous," which refers to the arrangement of flagella all over the cell surface of a microorganism.


What type of flagella does enterobacter aerogenes have?

Enterobacter aerogenes typically has peritrichous flagella, which are distributed all over the cell surface. These flagella help the bacterium to move and navigate through its environment.


How do the flagella help bacteria move around?

How can a bacteria without flagella move ?


How bacteria are classified on the bases of flagella?

Bacteria can be classified based on the number and arrangement of flagella. Monotrichous bacteria have a single flagellum, amphitrichous bacteria have a flagellum at each end, lophotrichous bacteria have multiple flagella at one or both ends, and peritrichous bacteria have flagella distributed all over the cell surface.


What does the cilia and the flagella do in a cell?

AnswerFirst of all, Flagella is a kind of cell, not the name of a part in a cell. The flagella is a cell that is pill shaped, and it's most distuingishing quality is the tail at on end of the cell that is used as a rotor. Edit:The flagella actually is the tail part of a sperm cell.


What is a bikont?

A bikont is a eukaryotic cell with two flagella, thought to be the ancestor of all plants.


Does Salmonella have a cell membrane?

Salmonella typhimurium does have a flagella, well actual multiple flagellums. A flagella is a whip like appendage on a cell to help it move and sense its surroundings.


Explain how the ultrastructure of cilia and flagella relates to their functions?

cilia are short fibers that are use for attachment to surfaces (biofilms). flagella are longer fibers that are connected to a complex base that rotates. rotation requires atp. this rotation causes the cells to move.cilia are usually dispersed all over the cell's surface. flagella are placed in more distinct areas (on the ends or sides).


Do Xylem and Phloem and bacterial all have a cell wall?

No bacterium don't usually have cell walls because they're usually not needed... instead they have cilia and flagella.


The outer living limit of a cell called?

Some cells have glycocalyces and this then would be the outermost part of the cell for them but all cells must have a plasma membrane and therefore I think this would be the best answer to the question.


What is the difference between a flagellum and a pili?

Pili(singular-pilus) are the hair like appendages found on the surface of many bacteria whereas Flagella(singular-flagellum) are tail like projections that protrudes from the cell body. pili are require for bacterial conjugation whereas flagella functions in locomotion. Pili are primarily compose of pilin proteins and flagella are made of protein called flagellin.
