Flagella in bacteria enable them to

  • A.reproduce
  • B.locomote
  • C.Thrive in nutrient agar
  • D.Adhere to tissue surfaces

Answer: B

Correct answer: locomote

Flagella are organs of motility: the filament is turned like a propeller by a motor in the membrane, driven by the proton-motive force. Adhesion is the work of fimbriae and pili, and reproduction has nothing to do with flagella.
