The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "A bacterium having one flagella each on the opposite ends is," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Flagella Classification**: Bacteria can be classified based on the presence and arrangement of flagella. Flagella are tail-like structures that help bacteria in movement. 2. **Identify Types of Flagella Arrangement**: - **Atrichous**: No flagella present; these bacteria are non-motile. - **Monotrichous**: One flagellum at one end of the bacterium. - **Lophotrichous**: A tuft of flagella at one end. - **Peritrichous**: Flagella distributed all around the bacterium. - **Amphitrichous**: One flagellum at each end of the bacterium. 3. **Analyze the Question**: The question specifically asks for a bacterium that has one flagellum at each of the opposite ends. 4. **Select the Correct Type**: From the types identified, the arrangement that fits the description of having one flagellum at each end is "Amphitrichous". 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the bacterium with one flagellum at each of the opposite ends is called "Amphitrichous". ### Final Answer: The bacterium having one flagella each on the opposite ends is called **Amphitrichous**. ---
