Cilia and flagella are an arrangement of microtubules. Microtubules are fibrous rods that primarily affect the shape, movement, and support of a cell. For example, microtubules are the fibers you see in mitosis that pull the chromosomes to separate ends of the cell.
Cilia and flagella contain the 9+2 arrangement of microtubules in their structure. This arrangement consists of nine peripheral microtubule doublets surrounding two central microtubules.
Flagella and cilia are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they have distinct differences in terms of structure and function. Flagella are longer and fewer in number, while cilia are shorter and more numerous. Flagella typically move in a whip-like motion to propel the cell, while cilia have a back-and-forth motion to move substances along the cell surface. Both structures are made up of microtubules, but the arrangement and length of these microtubules differ between flagella and cilia.
Cilia, which are similar to flagella in structure, would also show the same pattern of microtubules. Both flagella and cilia contain a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules, with nine outer doublet microtubules and a central pair of microtubules.
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.
Virtually all eukaryotic cilia and flagella are composed of a central bundle of microtubules. This bundled arrangement is called an anoxeme. In the anoxeme, nine outer doubled microtubules surround an inner pair of single microtubules.
Cilia and flagella contain the 9+2 arrangement of microtubules in their structure. This arrangement consists of nine peripheral microtubule doublets surrounding two central microtubules.
When flagella are present all over a cell, this is known as a "peritrichous" arrangement.
The arrangement of microtubules described consists of nine doublets of microtubules surrounding a pair of single microtubules in the center. This arrangement is known as the "9+2" structure, found in eukaryotic flagella and cilia. It provides structural support and aids in the movement of these cellular structures.

No itis not. Flagella are longer than cilia

#4. Both cilia and flagella use the 9+2 arrangement to generate movement. The centrioles gives rise to the microtubules, then it remains below the finished array as a basal body. centriole has 9+0 arrangement starting from basal body
