    Identify a structure that plays a role in motility.

    A.

    Pili

    B.

    Flagella

    C.

    Cilia

    D.

    Plasmid

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is: (b) Flagella
    Explanation:
    · Flagella are whip-like structures that provide locomotion to cells, especially in bacteria and sperm cells.
    Information Booster:
    · Made of protein flagellin.
    · Found in prokaryotes and eukaryotic gametes.
    · Help bacteria move toward nutrients or away from toxins.
    · Can be single or multiple flagella.
    · Movement powered by proton motive force (in bacteria).
    · Part of motility organelles.
    Additional Information:
    · Pili – Used for attachment, not movement.
    · Cilia – Involved in movement but not as primary as flagella.
    · Plasmid – Circular DNA, not for motility.
