Answer:

Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.

A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.

The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.

In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.

Why do you think<br> organisms in the<br> same kingdom are<br> not all identical?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Evolution, mutation, and adaptation

Explanation:

Since different organisms adapt to different environments and receive different mutations, they adapt differently and slowly change. That is why there are different species of birds, just look at the galapagos islands, there are thousands of species of finches that changed to survive on each island. The same could be said for every organism since the early organisms that we evolved from were widespread, some evolved differently than others, leading to different fish, different lizards, different early mammals, and so on. That is why humans look different than dogs or cats, we evolved best to our environment so we could survive.

Which of the following would increase the rate of heat exchange between an animal and its environment?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Wind blowing across the body surface increases transpiration of the skin. The winds reduce the local air pressure above the skin allowing the sweat to evaporate faster. As the sweat evaporates, it carries with it heat from the body. This cools the skin much faster than on a non-windy day. This is why a breeze feels so cool on the human skin on a hot day.
