Whiplash flagellum and tinsel flagellum

Explanation:

  • The tinsel type of flagellum consist of lateral hair-like structures along its length called the fimmers or the mastigonemes
  • The whiplash flagella do not contain any hair-like structures, they are long and are made of three parts namely hook, filament and tip
  • The flagellum which consists of lateral hair-like projections along its length is called Tinsel flagellum.
  • These filaments change the flagellar action so that a wave coming down the filament towards the tip propels the cell instead of pushing it.
  • The naked flagellum is referred to as Whiplash flagellum. It consists of two parts-a long lower portions and a short-flexible upper portion.
