Which type of flagella characterize a bacterial cell?

• A. Lophotrichous
• B. Monotrichous
• C. Arnphitrichous
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above

Flagella are the main organ of locomotion in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Different bacteria have the different arrangement of flagella. The various types of flagella arrangements are :

Monotrichous - single flagella at one end e.g., Vibrio cholerae.

Lophotrichous - multiple flagella at one end e.g., Spirilla spp.

Amphitrichous - flagella at both the ends A. faecalis.

Peritrichous - Flagella all over e.g., E. coli

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
