Study amphitrichous flagella and explore flagella examples. See how bacteria use amphitrichous flagella for movement and study types of flagella...
spicules. Different types of sponges have spicules that are either separated from each other or form a loose or solid grid to support the body according to a certain structure. Therefore, the type, number and arrangement of spicules can be used as the basis for the classification of sponges....
Small cells having two flagella and a short haptonema. The cell surface is covered with organic scales supporting calcified structures shaped as hollow pyramids. Balaniger balticus Thomsen & Oates Reference: Thomsen & Oates, 1978, pp. 773–779, Plates 1–3. Saddle-shaped cells, 3.1–4.7 μ...
Example of vibrios includes vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio harveyi while some examples of Spirilla include members of the Campylobacter species. * Spirilla have flagella (on both ends), which they use to move in water or aquatic environment. This allows them to move faster in such environments co...
Muscles are not the only means of movement in animals. Manyprotists(unicellular organisms) move instead by usingciliaor flagella (actively beating processes of the cell surface thatpropelthe organism through water). Some unicellular organisms are capable of amoeboid movement, in which the cell conten...
(flagella) or of flowingcytoplasm(amoeboid motion). In their union, gametes may be morphologically indistinguishable (i.e.,isogamous) or they may be distinguishable only on thecriterionof size (i.e.,heterogamous). The largergamete, oregg, is nonmotile; the smaller gamete, orsperm, is ...
