Detailed explanation-1: -Most motile bacteria move by means of flagella. The structures and pattern of movement of prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella are different. Eukaryotes have one to many flagella, which move in a characteristic whiplike manner. The flagella closely resemble the cilium in structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common appendages used for getting around, however, are flagella (singular: flagellum). These tail-like structures whip around like propellers to move cells through watery environments. Can’t eukaryotic cells have flagella too? Bacteria may have various types of surface structures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flagella are whip-like appendages that undulate to move cells. They are longer than cilia, but have similar internal structures made of microtubules. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella differ greatly. Both flagella and cilia have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagella. The little whip-like structures that help prokaryotic cells move are called flagella. The flagella spin around and this helps to move the prokaryotes, like bacteria, along.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flagella. Bacterial flagella are long hairy structures that help in their locomotion. They are found at either or both ends of a bacterium or all over its surface.
