Cilia and flagella move liquid past the surface of the cell.
- For single cells, such as sperm, this enables them to swim.
- For cells anchored in a tissue, like the epithelial cells lining our air passages, this moves liquid over the surface of the cell (e.g., driving particle-laden mucus toward the throat).

What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
What kingdom does cilia and flagella belong to?
Cilia and flagella are not actually animals, so they don't have a kingdom. They are structures that allow microorganisms and cells to move. The best answer I can give you is Animalia.
What are the characteristics of cilia and flagella?
Cilia and flagella assist in the movement of cells. Not all cells have them, but they are very common in prokaryotic cells. They are usually long, and appear to be projections of the cell. Without them, some cells would be unable to function. For example, sperm cells require flagella to move towards the egg.
What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
Cilia and flagella are most similar in?
length and number
What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
What is the function of cilia and the flagella and where are they found?
Flagella is the tail-like piece connected to the Cell Body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it functions in locomotion. The Cilia is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that also project from the cell body. In Eukaryotic Cells the Cilia and Flagella make up a group of organelles called the undulipodia and the Cilia and Flagella are structurally similar.
What kingdom does cilia and flagella belong to?
Cilia and flagella are not actually animals, so they don't have a kingdom. They are structures that allow microorganisms and cells to move. The best answer I can give you is Animalia.
What three organelles enable eukaryotic cells to move?
Flagella, Cilia. and Microtubules / Microfilaments

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.
How do cells move in and out of cells?
cells move by wiggling their body cilia or flagella
Is flagella in animal cell or plant cell?
Animals cells use cilia and flagella for 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.
Move substances along the surface of cells?
Flagella, pseudopodia. cilia
What cellular structure are associated with moving of cells?
cilia and flagella
