Do paramecia have a flagella?
No, paramecia have cilia, which are tiny hair-like projections that propel the paramecium through its environment. Both flagella and cilia propel their cell through its environment.
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes have whip-like projections that help propel the cell through liquid What is the name of this whip-like projection?
a flagellum
What is flagella like?
You can compare flagellum to a tail or to a leg or arm. This is because it is the cells ways of moving around.
What is the function of a sperm's cell's flagellum?
the nucleus is where DNA is stored and the flagellum is another major part commonly linked to the sperm cell.
What structure in cells is responsible for movement?
On the outer surface of the cell, there are finger like projections called Cilia. Filaments in Cilia propel the cells movement by using ATP as energy source. Ciliated based movement is common and prokaryote.
What hair like projections of the cell that beat and vibrate are called?
Cilia
What best describes flagella?
long, whip-like structures that propel a cell
What are the long hair-like extensions of the cell membrane that act to propel the cell?
Flagella. Flagellum. ( singular form )
What is a flagellem?
Assuming you meant 'flagellum' - it's a tail-like structure in micro-organisms that helps to propel it forwards.
Flagella are whip-like projections that are used in?
they help in moving the cell and changing its direction
What are analogies for flagella?
A flagellum is a "whiplike" tail that serves to propel a cell forward. A fish would use its tail to help it move forward. Also, a powerboat is propelled by a rotor, which operates much like a flagellum (although it may be important to note that flagella are often longer than the cell; whereas boat motors are relatively small).
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.
