Question

how would the movement of monotrichous and cephalotrichous bacteria be different?

Answer 1

Bacterial flagella which are helical filaments are made up of the protein flagellin, each with a rotary otory attached to its base which can turn clockwise and anticlockwise directions.

Bacterial flagella have different types according to its arrangements.

Atrichous- Flagella absent

Monotrichous- Single polar flagellum

Amphitrichous- Single flagellum at both ends

lophotrichous- tuft of flagella on one or both ends

Peritrichous- Many flagella all over the body.

Now about the second part of the question Lophotrichous is said to be tuft of flagella on one or both sides.

Cephalotrichous is tuft of flagella in one end, retyping lophotrichous as tuft of flagella on both sides.

Hope this helps. And thank you very much for the new information, i didn’t know there was a new type until now.

Answer 2

Answer:

because monotrichous bacteria have single flagellum and cephalotrichous bacteria have bunch of flagella on one side .
