Question

Bacteria with group of flagella on both sides

• A. amphitrichous
• B. cephalotrichous
• C. peritrichous
• D. lophotrichous

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

amphitrichous

Answer 2

There are four types of flagellar arrangements based on the number and placement of flagella on the cell. These are, 1. Monotrichous - A single flagellum extends from one end of the bacterial cell. 2. Amphitrichous - A single flagellum or multiple flagella extend from two ends of the cell. 3. Lophotrichous - Tuft of flagella extend from one end or both ends of the cell. 4. Peritrichous - Multiple flagella randomly distributed over the entire bacterial cell. Thus, the correct answer is 'Amphitrichous.'
