Flagella are whip-like structures that enable motility in many single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, as well as in some multicellular organisms like sperm cells. They function by rotating or undulating to propel the organism through liquid environments. Typically, flagella are located at one or both ends of the cell, or they can be distributed around the cell's surface, depending on the species. In bacteria, flagella are anchored in the cell membrane and cell wall, while in eukaryotic cells, they extend from the cell surface.

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.
there are two flagellums on a Euglena a short one and a long one. They are both held by a pouch. The long flagella helps the euglena move.
Flagella, a whip-like structure found in some cells, function to provide motility by enabling the cell to move through fluid environments. Flagella contain specialized motor proteins that allow them to move in a coordinated manner to propel the cell forward.
for movement
The major function of the flagella is to move the cell. It's like a long whip which helps it move around and stuff.
In the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell
Enables cells to movement.
To move cells.
No flagella do not reproduce.
The word "flagella" is plural so the proper term to use for this question would be "flagellum". A flagellum is an organ of locomotion in single cell organisms. In other words, the flagellum help the organism move around.
If I remember my biology correctly, flagella are what a microorganism uses for movement.This link goes more in depth than I can, however:http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Flagella
Motion.
Flagella is formed outside of the cells in the human body. Their main function is to allow liquids to move past the surface of these cells.
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they differ in size and function. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer in number. Cilia are primarily involved in moving substances along the cell surface, while flagella are used for cell movement.
