the arrangement of microtubules in flagella of prokaryotes
Answers
Answer:
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella differ greatly. Both flagella and cilia have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules. This arrangement refers to the 9 fused pairs of microtubules on the outside of a cylinder, and the 2 unfused microtubules in the center.
remember
Bacterial flagella (or prokaryotic flagella) are smaller and has a simple structure whereas eukaryotic flagella is larger in size and has a complex structure.
Prokaryotic flagella is made up of flagellin and is proton (H+) driven. Eukaryotic flagella is made up of tubulin (9+2 microtubule arrangement) and driven by ATP
coming to Ur question***
there will be no microtubules in prokaryotes but they have microtubules like structures......
hope this helps....
all the best for your future friend
