Voorbeelden van flagellum

• A flagellum has been demonstrated as attached to one or both extremities. 

• Solid food particles are taken in near base of flagella. 

• The body is small, globular or oval and either free-swimming or fastened by one of the two flagella. 

• The flagella are about the same size, the anterior one usually somewhat longer. 

• There is a single flagellum. 

• Such variability and the presence of flagella and microtubules in their preparations make their data not comparable with ours.

• The slide was examined under 1000r magnification, and the number of flagella counted for each exflagellating gametocyte.

• Lateral flagella were not clearly visible, but 2-5 polar flagella (2-3 times the length of the cell) were observed.

• It is known that the flagella perform a propeller-like movement with a specific handedness resulting from the gear-like structure of their molecular motors.

• Zoospores narrowed down toward the forward end and had two flagella.

• Specific targeting of proteins to the flagella of trichomonads thus may be modulated by an alternative mechanism.

• The connecting body, as well as the proximal flagellum, are also prominently stained.

• After centrifugation at 400g for 5 min, most of the maturing and matured (flagellum-generating) spermatid agglutinated in sticky masses and were discarded from the suspension.

• Thus, the force distribution created by an activated motile flagellum will be affected by fluid viscoelasticity, as will the hydrodynamic power expended.

• Indeed, flagella handedness has no effect on the tumbling of short bacteria, as they make many turns before ending at a new angle.

• Here, we will first briefly summarize the structural design of the bacterial flagellum and its component proteins with respect to their functions and assembly mechanism.

• The subunit proteins are synthesized in the cell and transported to the distal end through the hollow core of the flagellum.

• The short terminal section of the flagellum is called the endpiece and contains only the axoneme surrounded by the plasma membrane.

• The propagation velocity along the flagellum is given by f.

• For the other parts at both ends of the flagellum, structural and functional studies are underway.
