Explanation

Peritrichous bacteria have flagella projecting in all directions (e.g. Escherichia coli). Lophotrichous bacteria have multiple flagella located at the same spot on the bacteria's surfaces (e.g. Helicobacter pylori). Amphitrichous bacteria have a single flagellum on each of two opposite ends (e.g. Rhodospirillum rubrum). Monotrichous bacteria have a single flagellum (e.g. Vibrio cholerae).
