Does mycobacterium smegmatis have flagella?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mycobacterium smegmatis, a non-pathogenic bacterium in the Mycobacterium genus, utilizes gliding motility instead of traditional flagella for movement. This unique form of motility enables smooth surface movement, distinguishing it from bacteria with rotary flagellar motion. While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, Mycobacterium smegmatis is often used as a model organism for research due to its distinct characteristics.

Is a small intestine as big as a football field?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, approximately, but not nearly as long. The idea is that the villi that make up the small intestine add massive amounts of surface area to it, such that if you flattened out the entire small intestine it would have roughly the surface area of a football field. The average adult small intestine is however only 15-20 feet in length while alive (shorter due to constant contractions inside the body) and closer to 30 feet after death.

How do humans get worms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the kind of worms the dog has. Either way the dog should be treated and the human should see a doctor. Typically stepping on (hook worms) or ingesting feces is the best way. Feces can be ingested in microscopic quantities from petting or shoes or all kinds of other ways. Touching or being touched by the dogs butt hole near your mouth or on your hands if you eat without washing them. Possibly some worms can be contracted through licking, though it is less likely than through feces.

Does watermelon cause red bowel movement?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. If you eat enough watermelon your feces can turn red, just like with eating beets. Also, if you eat it fast, your body may not digest all of the pulp and you might see some in your stool. As early as 1911 there were doctor studies published showing that even doctors thought it looked like blood until checked under a microscope. If you are worried that what you are seeing is blood stop eating the watermelon for a few days. If you still see red, then you should contact your doctor. And do not listen to people who say that watermelon is pure water, that is not true at all. It can affect the color of your stool.
