The proponents of an offshoot of creationism known as intelligent design argue that a flagellum is useless without every single one of these components, so such a structure could not have emerged ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified a previously unknown species of unicellular organism in seawater ...

Eukaryotic centrioles and basal bodies are arranged to produce a cylindrical structure ... the role of internal coupling in co-ordinating bi-flagellate (two flagella) strokes.

Researchers have identified a previously unknown species of unicellular organism in seawater collected near Hachijojima Island. The newly discovered species, named Viscidocauda repens, belongs to the ...

They also make up the internal structure of cilia and flagella. One major function of the microtubules that are built by tubulin is that they form the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells together ...

Their jobs are vitally important. Flagella help sperm swim, sponges eat, and sweep mucus from the lungs, among other functions. Their length depends on their purpose but flagellas’ structure and ...
