Bacteria flagellum
act like propellers
and make the
bacteria move,
just like engines
at the back of a
boat propelling
the boat forward.

The internal structure of the motor is highly complex. Ful-
ly 240 different proteins make up the flagella. With an ad-
mirable mechanical design, they are accurately placed in their
places of duty. The diameter of the flagella is only 40 nanome-
ters, in other words, the fortieth of a billionth of a millimeter.
Scientists have discovered that the proteins making up the
flagella send signals to turn on/off the engine, build atomic
