- The energy required for movement of flagella is derived from either the proton gradient or sodium ion gradient that exists across the plasma membrane and not from the ATP.

- Hence either proton motive force or sodium motive force facilitates movement of flagella.

- Flagella do not rotate at constant speed but instead can increase or decrease their rotational speed in relation to the strength of the proton motive force.
