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.

Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?. The cells are too large.. The cells are inactive.. The cells are damag
anygoal [31]

The right answer is The cells are damaged.

Take the example of skin cells.  

The skin consists of two tissues:

* the outermost, the epidermis, resting on a vascularized connective tissue,

* the dermis.

In the epidermis, which includes several layers of cells, the outer layer is formed of dead cells that are desquamating and are constantly being replaced from proliferating basal cell cells. So, in normal conditions, the epidermis is in constant renewal.

On the other hand, when accidentally, the upper parts of the epidermis are damaged, for example, a slight abrasion or of a burn, the destroyed portion is regenerated (replaced) thanks to an accelerated proliferation of basal epidermal cells .
