Front Outline the structure and function of a prokaryotic flagellum.
Back Flagellum 
  • Thinner than the equivalent of eukaryotes, no 9+2 arrangement
  • It is attached to the cell membrane by a basal body and rotated by a molecular motor
  • Molecular motor causes hook to rotate, creating true propeller motion
