Statement C) A cylindrical Basal body with a rotating filament is wrong statement.
A) The outer ring of flagellum is surround by an extensiom of cell membrane. ( Hence, this is a correct statement.)
B) Flagella has a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules which means 9 fused pairs of microtubules outside of ring and two unfused microtubules at center of ring are present. ( Hence, this is a correct statement.)
C) Basal body of eukaryotic flagellum is cylindrical but the base is attached to cell membrane and the flagellum prefers to bending rather than rotating & more ATP are required for flagellum to show rotation than bending. So, bending is preferred. ( As flagellum prefers bending than rotating, this is a wrong statement.)
D) Eukaryotic Flagella are not only used for showing movement but are also adapted to cell feeding, reproduction and provide sensation as it has sensory hairs. ( Hence, this is a correct statement.)
E) Bacterial flagella has a diameter of 20 nm and Eukaryotic flagella has a diameter of 200 nm which means Eukaryotic flagella is 10 times more thicker than Bacterial flagella. ( Hence, this is a correct statement.)
