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).
