What's the difference between flagellum and uniflagellate?
Flagellum
Definition:
(v. t.) A young, flexible shoot of a plant; esp., the long trailing branch of a vine, or a slender branch in certain mosses.
(v. t.) A long, whiplike cilium. See Flagellata.
(v. t.) An appendage of the reproductive apparatus of the snail.
(v. t.) A lashlike appendage of a crustacean, esp. the terminal ortion of the antennae and the epipodite of the maxilipeds. See Maxilliped.

(16) While in general agreement with previous searchers, the authors direct their attention at peculiar or unknown structures such as: a huge phagosome sometimes loaded with a paracristalline rod; an occasional set of parallel microtubules along the reservoir; eventual duplication of the blepharoplast and even of the flagellum.
(17) A sonicate antigen and two concentrations of a purified flagellum antigen of Borrelia burgdorferi were compared for serological diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
(18) The isolated organism measured 2.0 to 3.5 microns in length (excluding flagella) by 0.17 to 0.25 micron in width and typically had a single terminal sheathed flagellum.
(19) The flagellum of the mature spermatozoa was composed of four different components: a mitochondrial sheath, outer dense fiber, fibrous sheath and axoneme.
(20) All points on a flagellum are capable of initiating waves.
Uniflagellate
Definition:
(a.) Having but one flagellum; as, uniflagellate organisms.
Example Sentences:
(1) In live cells also, the trans-flagellum beat at a frequency about 30% higher than that of the cis-flagellum when the cells were rendered uniflagellated by mechanical treatment, whereas both flagella beat at the frequency of the cis-flagellum under normal conditions.
(2) 1966.-The uniflagellate zoospores of Rhizophlyctis rosea display active motility and a high endogenous respiratory metabolism, but neither growth nor net ribonucleic acid (RNA) or protein synthesis can be measured by ordinary procedures.
(3) zoospores in the rumen of cows in the first 3 h after feeding with hay-silage-concentrate diets varied from 7 x 10(3) to 5.4 x 10(5) ml-1; the number of uniflagellate zoospores varied from 10(4) to 10(5) ml-1.

(6) It is characterized by a polycentric thallus, a polynuclear rhizomycelium, mucronate zoosporangia and uniflagellated zoospores.
(7) This is the first uniflagellate spermatozoon known in the Turbellaria; it is indicative of the primitiveness of Nemertoderma and is evidence in support of the view that the Turbellaria as a whole are among the most primitive living Bilateria.
(8) Time-averaged data covering six to ten beat cycles for ATP-reactivated spermatozoa of a sea urchin and Ciona, and from a uniflagellate mutant of Chlamydomonas, were analyzed to obtain parameters of oscillation and mean shear angle at each point along the flagellum.
