A flagellum is a long cellular appendage specialized for locomotion, featuring a core of nine outer doublet microtubules and two inner single microtubules ensheathed in the plasma membrane in eukaryotes, with a different structure in prokaryotes.
El flagelo es un apéndice celular largo especializado en la locomoción, con una estructura central de nueve dobletes de microtúbulos externos y dos microtúbulos simples internos rodeados por una extensión de la membrana plasmática en eucariotas, y una estructura diferente en procariotas.
