• Definitions:
• a whip-like appendage which is the organ of locomotion of a motile cell; in fungi two types can be distinguished: whiplash, with a smooth ...
• Whip-like structures arising from the cell and responsible for propelling cells in a watery fluid. All dinoflagellates at some time in their life cycle have two dissimilar flagella: a transverse flagellum (provides propulsion) and a longitudinal flagellum (provides direction). ...
• the terminal portion of the antennæ situated beyond the pedicellus; the apex.
• An organ of motility; composed of tightly wound chains of strands containing a protein called flagellin.
• a thin filamentous appendage on cells, such as bacteria and protists, responsible for locomotion.
• long whip-like tail protruding from the surface of a cell that propels the cell, acting as a locomotive device.
• whip-like bacterial locomotory (provide motility) organelles anchored in the cell membranes that are composed of helically-coiled protein subunits (flagellin); flagella (plural)
• Hair-like structure with internal microtubules, surrounded by plasma membrane, used for cell movement.
• (fla·gel·lum) (fl?-jel´?m) pl. flagel´la [L. “whip”] a long, mobile, whiplike projection from the free surface of a cell, serving as a locomotor organelle. In eukaryotes, it is composed of nine pairs of microtubules arrayed around a central pair. ...
• A long hairlike or whiplike contractile filament protruding from certain bacterial cells and spores of fungi and that enablemovement.
• Narrow distal part of antenna or antennule, usually multiarticulate, occasionally reduced to one or a few articles, without intrinsic musculature.

• Lash-like slender appendage or limb. Found in sponges.
• A long, thread-like organelle used by many microscopic organisms for locomotion and feeding.
• (flua-jel´um) A whiplike structure that provides motility for sperm.
• A long, whiplike organelle that usually protrudes from a cell and is used for motility
• a long whip-like process the extends from the surface of the call.
• Noun. (Latin, flagellum = whip. Pl., flagella). 1. Part of the antenna beyond the pedicel (second segment). 2. Any whip or whip-like process. 3. The tail-like process of a spermatozoon.
• three-pronged whip used by the Romans; was ineffective against heavy armor
• scourge: a whip used to inflict punishment (often used for pedantic humor) a lash-like appendage used for locomotion (e.g., in sperm cells and some bacteria and protozoa)
• A Flagellum (plural: flagella) is a long, slender projection from the cell body, composed of microtubules and surrounded by the plasma membrane. ...
