Question

multiple select question select all that apply which statements regarding bacterial flagella are correct? more than one answer may be correct. the flagellar filament can be many times longer than the bacterial cell. the flagellar filament is the flagellar structure that rotates; the basal body and hook are stationary. the basal body of the flagellum is anchored through the cell wall to the cytoplasmic membrane and outer. the flagellar filament is composed of polysaccharide. need help? review these concept resources. rate your confidence to submit your answer.

Explanation:

Bacterial flagella are complex structures. The flagellar filament can be many times longer than the bacterial cell. The basal body, hook and filament are components of the flagellar structure where the basal - body is the motor - like structure that rotates the flagellar filament. The basal body of the flagellum is anchored through the cell wall to the cytoplasmic membrane. The flagellar filament is composed of protein subunits, not polysaccharides.

Answer:

The flagellar filament can be many times longer than the bacterial cell.
The only structure that rotates is the flagellar filament; the basal body and hook are stationary.
The basal body of the flagellum is anchored through the cell wall to the cytoplasmic membrane.
