What else can I help you with?
In prokaryotic cells both cilia and flagella are composed of microtubles?
True
What are the characteristics of cilia and flagella?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found on cells that are involved in movement. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and usually found singly or in pairs on a cell. Both cilia and flagella contain a core of microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern that provides support and drives movement.
Is cilia found in both plant and animal cells?
Most plant cells have neither flagellum nor cilium but in some cases there are exceptions. For example, the cycads have some cells with cilia and flagella. In particular, sperm cells have a flagella.
Are cilia and flagella multicellular organisms?
NO! They are organelles of cells of both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
Cells would be unable to form cillia or flagella if they did not have what?
Cells would be unable to form cilia or flagella if they did not have microtubules. Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton that provide structural support and facilitate the movement of cilia and flagella.
What is a analogy for cilia and flagella?
Cilia and flagella can be analogized to oars on a boat. Like oars, they both have a similar structure and function of propelling cells through their environment.
What are short hairlike structures made of microtubules that help move cells?
Cilia and flagella are short hairlike structures made of microtubules that help move cells. Cilia are shorter and numerous, whereas flagella are longer and fewer in number. Both structures aid in cell movement and fluid flow.
How are flagella and cilia alike?
Flagella and cilia are both cellular structures used for movement in organisms. They are both made up of microtubules and are found on the surface of cells. Flagella are typically longer and fewer in number compared to cilia, which are shorter and more numerous.
How are cilia and flagella different in terms of their structure and function?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they differ in size and function. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer in number. Cilia are primarily involved in moving substances along the cell surface, while flagella are used for cell movement.
How are cilia different from flagella in terms of their structure and function?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they differ in size and function. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer in number. Cilia are primarily involved in moving substances along the cell surface, while flagella are used for cell movement.
What three types of cells might have cilia or flagella?
protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)
Where can you find the cytoskeleton?
in cilia, flagella and muscle cells.
