 Flagella are long protusions on the back of a cell such as the tail of the sperm cell. They can propel a cell through liquid or fluid mediums via their undulation and fluctation. Eukaryotic flagella are enlongated versions of cilia whereas bacterial flagella are completely different both in structure and mechansims. [1]
