Answer 1

Answer:

Flagella are the complex filamentous cytoplasmic structure protruding through cell wall. These are unbranched, long, thread like structures, mostly composed of the protein flagellin, intricately embedded in the cell envelope. They are about 12-30 nm in diameter and 5-16 µm in length. They are responsible for the bacterial motility. Motility plays an important role in survival and the ability of certain bacteria to cause disease.
