DNA flagella pili cell wallarrow_forwardTrue or False Cell walls are present in the cells of archaea, bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants only. Photosynthetic unicellular prokaryotes such as Oscillatoria exhibit a green color when viewed under a microscope because of the presence of numerous chloroplasts. The nuclear membrane is a double-membrane structure that constitutes the outermost portion of the nucleus and is continuous with the Endoplasmic Reticulum.arrow_forward

- 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.arrow_forwardWhat is not part of a Bacterial cell base on the picture?arrow_forwardVisit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md0PtdRxXvw Are the flagella at the anterior or posterior end?
