A stylized illustration shows the flagellar apparatus of a bacterium: a long, helical filament attached to a short basal segment. In biological hierarchy, this supramolecular organelle is an extracellular appendage of the prokaryotic cell envelope that enables motility and chemotaxis. In microbiology and cell physiology, the basal body functions as a rotary motor powered by the proton motive force (PMF), transmitting torque through a hook to spin the filament and propel bacterial cells.
