Document Summary
The arrangement of microtubules in cilia and flagella (not prokaryotic flagella) 9 fused pairs of microtubules on the outside of a cylinder, and the 2 unfused microtubules in the center. When the offspring arise from a single organism and so inherit genes from one parent. Microtubules appear in a set of 9 triplets, each triplet containing 3 microtubules (a, b and c) attached to each other. The nine basal body microtubules provide the template for building the axoneme. The basal body also orients and positions the cilium or flagellum, which is critical to the correct movement of fluids within the axoneme. Second flagellum in upper level of water column where bacteria and light is. Every single photosynthetic cell has two flagellum. Each cell has components which perform specific function, such as exchange or substances, protein synthesis, release of energy etc. Each organelle in the cell performs a distinct function.
