Question

Mycoplasma, Oscillatoria, E. coli, Spirullum
How many of the above given organism are unable to move by flagellum?

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer 1

The correct option is A Two

Oscillatoria is a filamentous cyanobacterium that moves by oscillating or sliding back and forth. It doesn't possess any flagellum for the purpose of locomotion. Mycoplasma or pleuro pneumoniae like organisms move by gliding and lack any flagellum. E.coli is a bacterium and a prokaryotic organism possessing a flagellum for its locomotion. Spirulina is another example of a cyanobacteria, with a flagellum

So, the correct answer is 'Two'.
