The 34 pages that link to Flagellum, each with the reason it gives.

• CiliaCompared with: It shares core motile machinery with cilia but typically occurs singly and produces whole-cell propulsion.

• TubulinBroader topic: Tubulin supplies the microtubule framework for eukaryotic flagella.

• ProtistRelated: Many flagellated protists use one or more flagella to move through water.

• Green algaeRelated: Motile green algae use flagella to move toward favorable light and conditions.

• SpermatozoonBroader topic: The sperm tail is a specialized flagellum that drives forward motion.

• OpisthokontaRelated: A posterior flagellum in motile cells helped inspire the name and early diagnosis of the group.

• ZoosporeBroader topic: Zoospores swim by beating one or more flagella.

• ChoanoflagellateBroader topic: Its beating draws water and suspended bacteria through the surrounding microvillar collar.

• ChoanocyteRelated: Its beating drives water past the choanocyte’s particle-trapping collar.

• EuglenidRelated: Euglenid flagella commonly provide locomotion and help orient cells.

• Primary ciliumCompared with: The sperm flagellum shares a microtubule-based design but is specialized for motility.

• AlveolataRelated: Flagella power movement in many dinoflagellates and other alveolates.

• LeishmaniaRelated: The promastigote form uses a flagellum for motility in the sand fly.

• Trypanosoma bruceiRelated: The parasite’s single flagellum is attached along its body and drives its characteristic motion.

• ChytridiomycotaNarrower topic: A single flagellum powers the swimming stage characteristic of chytrid reproduction.

• ParameciumCompared with: A flagellum provides a different propulsion structure from Paramecium's many short cilia.

• ChlorophytaRelated: Many motile chlorophyte cells swim using one or more flagella.

• EuglenaNarrower topic: A flagellum propels Euglena through water.

• EuglenozoaRelated: Many euglenozoans use one or more flagella for movement.

• OpisthokontNarrower topic: The opisthokont flagellum is one specialized form of this motility structure.

• Giardia duodenalisRelated: Giardia trophozoites have multiple flagella that contribute to motility.

• ExcavataRelated: Flagella are common in many excavate lineages, though their arrangements vary.

• Golden algaeRelated: Flagella let motile golden algae move toward favorable light and nutrient conditions.

• HaptophyteNarrower topic: Haptophytes typically have two flagella alongside their separate haptonema.

• KinetoplastidRelated: A flagellum supplies motility and helps organize the kinetoplastid cell surface.

• ChlamydomonasRelated: Two flagella propel typical Chlamydomonas cells through water.

• PalpigradiRelated: The long, segmented flagellum trailing from the palpigrade abdomen gives microwhip scorpions their common name.

• ProtozoaBroader topic: Flagellates use one or more flagella for locomotion and, sometimes, feeding.

• TrypanosomaRelated: A flagellum helps trypanosomes move through blood and tissues.

• BlastocladiomycotaBroader topic: A single posterior flagellum propels the motile cells characteristic of many members.

• CercozoaRelated: Flagellated forms occur alongside amoeboid forms in Cercozoa.

• BikontRelated: The name bikont reflects a proposed ancestral condition with two flagella.

• CryptomonadNarrower topic: Cryptomonads typically swim using two flagella.

• ProtistologyRelated: Flagella power movement in many protists, though their structure differs across major lineages.
