Question

Bacteria move by means of:
A)cilia
B)flagella
C)fimbriae
D)pili

Accepted Answer

Bacteria move by means of flagella, which are whip-like structures that rotate to propel the cell. Cilia are similar structures found on some eukaryotic cells but are not typically present on bacteria. Fimbriae and pili are short, hair-like structures used for attachment and genetic exchange, respectively, but not for movement.
