Which of the following structures helps cyanobacteria to move?
Correct answer: C. Gas vesicles
- A. Flagella
- B. Capsule
- C. Gas vesicles
- D. None of these
Explanation
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, can exhibit motility through a few different mechanisms, although many species are non-motile. Motility in cyanobacteria, when present, is generally slower and less efficient than that of flagellated bacteria. Some cyanobacteria exhibit gliding motility, while others may perform limited movement via the action of gas vesicles.
