Question

In wet mount preparations, is it possible to see eukaryotic flagella? Bacterial flagella? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is Yes for eukaryotic flagella and , no for bacterial flagella.

Explanation:

Note that, a flagellum is a slender appendage structure  just like a thread, enabling some protozoa, spermatozoa among others to move or swim from a point to another.

The bacterial flagella is simple and small, and made up of protein, while the eukaryotic flagella are large and somewhat complex, and composed of tublin.

In this case, the eukaryotic flagella will be seen simply because they are larger, and extended out from the surface of the cell.
