Question

How much riccia spermatozoides posses of flagella?

Answer 1

There are basically four different types of flagellar arrangements:

1. A single flagellum can extend from one end of the cell - if so, the bacterium is said to be monotrichous.

2. A single flagellum (or multiple flagella; see below) can extend from both ends of the cell - amphitrichous.

3. Several flagella (tuft) can extend from one end or both ends of the cell - lophotrichous; or,

4. Multiple flagella may be randomly distributed over the entire bacterial cell - peritrichous.
