Detailed explanation-1: -The bacterial flagellar motor is powered by the transmembrane electrochemical gradient of ions, namely ion motive force (IMF) and rotates the flagellar filament to generate thrust to propel the cell body. The maximum motor speed reaches 300 revolutions per second in E.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The base of the flagellum (the hook) near the cell surface is attached to the basal body enclosed in the cell envelope. The flagellum rotates in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, in a motion similar to that of a propeller.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagellum is primarily a motility organelle that enables movement and chemotaxis. Bacteria can have one flagellum or several, and they can be either polar (one or several flagella at one spot) or peritrichous (several flagella all over the bacterium).

Detailed explanation-5: -Gliding motility is the ability of certain rod-shaped bacteria to translocate on surfaces without the aid of external appendages such as flagella, cilia, or pili.
