What is this?
Flagellated bacteria are super tiny living things, too small to see without a powerful microscope, that have special whip-like tails called flagella. These tails spin around like propellers, helping the bacteria swim and move around in liquids, like tiny submarines exploring their world.
Key Parts to Explore
Cell Body
This is the main part of the bacterium where all its important jobs happen.
Flagellum
This is the long, whip-like tail that spins around to push the bacterium forward.
Cell Wall
This is a strong outer layer that protects the bacterium and gives it shape.
Cell Membrane
This is a thin, flexible skin just inside the cell wall that controls what goes in and out.
Did You Know?
Some flagellated bacteria can spin their tiny tails faster than a helicopter's blades to zoom through water!
