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.

This microtubule-based structure is highly complex and is not seen in other ... Germany have developed a microscopy technique that allowed for the visualization of the internal dynamics of the primary ...

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 ...

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 ...

If the protein is forced in its 'narrower' geometrical structure, it is impossible for the flagella to grow outside the bacterium's body, as the channels that would allow the flagella in exit the ...

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 ...
