The arrangement of flagella in bacterial cells shown in the diagram is:
Correct answer: B. lopotrichous
- A. Monotrichous
- B. lopotrichous
- C. peritrichous
- D. monopolar bitrichous
Explanation
The lophotrichous bacteria have several flagella located at the same place on their surface. When a tuft of flagella arises from one side of bacteria it is lophotrichous arrangement.
