The function of Flagella:



Bacterial cell benefits from flagella in the following way,


     They can migrate toward environments favorable for growth and away from those that might be harmful.

They can increase the concentration of nutrient or decrease the concentration of poisonous material near the bacterial surface by causing a change in the flow rate of environmental fluids.

They can move flagellated organism to uninhabited(unoccupied) arew for colony formation.

They can help pathogens to penetrate certain host defense barriers, such as mucous secretion.
