Motile cilia use their rhythmic undulation to sweep away substances ,as in cleaning dirt, dust , micro organisms and mucus , to prevent diseases

What are the differences between flagella and cilia in terms of their structure and function?
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.
What are the function of cilia in stentor?
cilia in vorticella is usually concetrated around the mouth end of the organism. when vorticella is motile, temporarily, cilia will form around its body and when it is anchord it disappears. cila creates water current to direct food towards its mouth
Does Cilia help to push food into the paramecium's oral groove?
Yes, cilia help to create a water current that carries food particles towards the paramecium's oral groove. The beating motion of the cilia propels water containing food particles into the oral groove, where the food is then ingested by the organism.
What direction do the cilia beat?
Cilia typically beat in a coordinated back-and-forth motion, propelling fluids or particles along a surface. The direction of the beat can change depending on the specific function of the cilia, but the typical pattern is a sweeping motion towards one direction followed by a return stroke in the opposite direction.
What structure does this organism use to move through its environment?
This organism uses cilia for movement. Cilia are hair-like structures on the surface of the cell that beat rhythmically to propel the organism through its environment.
What kind of organism gets food using cilia?
Paramecium is an organism that utilizes cilia to sweep food particles into its oral groove, helping it to feed.
Are paramecium multiple-cell organism?
No. They are single cells with cilia. The cilia are short hair-like appendages.
Short hairlike projections called enable the motion of some eukaryotic cells?
cilia
What are short thin numerous projection from a cell that wave in a back and forth motion?
Cilia.
Describe how cilia work?
cilia "beat" in a rythmatic motion to force mucus and substances away from the lungs.
What is the function of cilia in the lungs?
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia propel the foreign particles out wards.
