Question

select the correct location on the image. prokaryotes, like most living organisms, need movement to locate food and to survive. if a prokaryote needed to move to a new food source, which structure would it use for locomotion?

Explanation:

Prokaryotes (like bacteria) use the flagellum for locomotion. The flagellum is a whip - like structure that helps in movement. The capsule is for protection, pili are for attachment or conjugation, and the chromosome is for genetic material. So the structure used for locomotion is the flagellum.

Answer:

The structure used for locomotion by the prokaryote to move to a new food source is the flagellum (the structure labeled "flagellum" in the image).
