Question

Do Prokaryotes have flagella?

Answer 1

Prokaryotes:

1. A single-celled organism known as a prokaryote is devoid of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
2. Flagella are present in prokaryotes, although they differ structurally from those found in eukaryotes.
3. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes possess flagella, which are primarily used for cell movement.
4. A prokaryote may have one or more flagella, which may be distributed throughout the cell or grouped on one side.
5. The flagellin protein forms the helical shape of the flagella.
6. The filament, the hook, and the basal body are the three components that make up the flagella.
