Which of the following is true of the flagellum in eukaryotes?     It is a long, thin extracellular (exterior) structure, with a basal motor embedded in the cell membrane/cell wall.     It is identical to the archaeal flagellum (archaellum) in composition and structure, but very different in composition and structure from bacterial flagella.     It is a long, thin structure containing bundles of microtubules and motor proteins, all within the plasma membrane.     Eukaryotic cells do not possess flagella.
