Eukaryotic flagella (and cilia) are composed of microtubules: www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/zoology/animalphysiology/anatomy/animalcellstructure/CiliaFlagella/flagella.jpg

Prokaryotic flagella are composed of flagellin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellum


NB There is already a thread for this question; in future, please post in the question thread. Thanks for understanding.
