What is a long thread-like structures protruding from the surface prokaryotic cells and what are used for locomotion?
Flagella
What is the Hairlike structure on the surface of many bacteria?
Flagella are long hair-like structures and Cillia are short hair-like structures. They can both help with the movement of the bacteria and cillia could stop foreign material entering the bacteria cell.
Flagella are longer and more numerous than cillia?
Flagella are longer than cilia but, not as numerous as cilia. Cilia usually surround the surface of a cell. Flagella are usually found only once (eg. sperm)
What are Hair like structures that move materials along the outer surface of the cell?
Cilia in eukaryotes and flagella in Protists and Bacteria.
What is the name of the hair-like structures on a sponge cell that moves back and forth to help move water or nutrients or waste through the canal?
The hair like structures on sponge cells can be either cilia or flagella. These structures project from the surface of the cell and help to move substances.
Cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for 'what'?
movement
What is a long thread-like structures protruding from the surface prokaryotic cells and what are used for locomotion?
Flagella
What are the one or two hairlike structures that extend from the surface and help move the cells?
Flagella. (There can be more than 2)
How do flagella differ from cilia in eukaryotic cell?
Flagella are long whip like structures that the organism has only one or two of. Cilia are numerous hair like structures that cover most of the organisms surface. Both impart locomotion to the organism.
Does a paramecium have legs?
Yes, a paramecium uses its cilia (hairlike structures on its cell membrane) to move.
What is the Hairlike structure on the surface of many bacteria?
Flagella are long hair-like structures and Cillia are short hair-like structures. They can both help with the movement of the bacteria and cillia could stop foreign material entering the bacteria cell.
What do cilia and flagella allow cells to do?
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).
Flagella are longer and more numerous than cillia?
Flagella are longer than cilia but, not as numerous as cilia. Cilia usually surround the surface of a cell. Flagella are usually found only once (eg. sperm)
What structures are involved in cell movement?
Cilia are short, hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells. Flagellaare long, tail like projections. Unlike ciliates, flagellates usually have one flagellum.
Move substances along the surface of cells?
Flagella, pseudopodia. cilia
What are Hair like structures that move materials along the outer surface of the cell?
Cilia in eukaryotes and flagella in Protists and Bacteria.
