Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some bacteria use tails, or flagella, to swim through liquids – including those in our bodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flagella propel bacteria through the body The rotation of the filament allows bacteria to move around in their environment. The motor embedded in the bacterial cell membrane rotates-just as a car motor spins beneath the hood of the vehicle-to drive the movement of the filament outside.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Real Thing OK-let’s talk about this thing known as a flagellum (if there are more than one, together they are called, flagella-the plural form of flagellum). The word “flagellum” is Latin for whip. This structure is present as an appendage on certain bacteria and allows the bacteria to move around.
Detailed explanation-5: -A flagellum (/fləˈdʒɛləm/; pl. flagella) is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.
