What is the central protien that governs the direction of rotation of the flagellum?

CheY

Once an organism has successfully responded to a stimulus, it must stop responding and reset the sensory system to await further signals. This is know as:

Adaptation

What happends during adabtation of the chemotaxis system?

A feedbackloop resets the system.

Name two other forms of taxis:

  1. Phototaxis. Movement toward light
  2. aerotaxis. Movement toward oxygen
