A whiplike motility appendage present on the surface cells. Prokaryote flagella are
composed of a protein called FLAGELLIN. Bacteria can have a single flagellum, a tuft
at one pole, or multiple flagella covering the entire surface. In eukaryotes, flagella
are threadlike protoplasmic extensions used to propel flagellates and sperm. Flagella
have the same basic structure as CILIA but are longer in proportion to the cell bearing
them and present in much smaller numbers. (From King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of
Genetics, 4th ed)
