Question 8

Movement of bacteria

Answer 8

Cocci,for example,utilize air or dust movement.
• Bacilli and spirilla have the ability to move by themselves by using hair-like projections called flagella
or cilia which extend from the sides of the cell.
• Awave-like motion from flagella and a rowing-like motion from cilia can easily propel the cell through a
liquid.
