Generally, the flagellum looks like a tail. They resemble a whip and acts like a motor for the bacteria. Flagella is plural for flagellum.

Cilia are short, hair-like structures that are typically found in large numbers on a cell's surface, resembling a brush or fringe. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that protrude from the cell and are usually present in smaller numbers. Both cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules and play a role in cell movement and signaling.

What is the energy source of the movement of flagella and cilia?
Flagella and cilia movement is powered by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the primary energy source for cellular processes and provides the energy needed for the dynein motor proteins to generate the bending motion of flagella and cilia.
What projections allow the cell to move or moves substances along the surface of the cell?
Cilia and flagella are projections that allow the cell to move or move substances along its surface. Cilia are short, numerous projections that move in a coordinated back-and-forth motion, while flagella are longer, less numerous projections that move in a whip-like fashion.
How does dileptus move?
Cillia
What has some move indepently some do not?
Some organisms, like single-celled bacteria, can move independently using structures like flagella or cilia. In contrast, multicellular organisms, like plants and fungi, do not typically have self-propelled movement at the cellular level.
Why can some protists move faster than others?
Some protists have specialized structures like flagella or cilia that help them move faster. Additionally, differences in their cell size, shape, and metabolic rate can also affect the speed at which protists move. Different protists have adapted to different environments, which can influence their movement capabilities.
What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
How do funguslike protists move?
They move with flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
Does flagella or cilia have a membrane?
If you are talking about the flagella and cilia separately, neither do.
What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
What type of movement euglena have pseudopodia flagella or cilia?
Euglina has flagella. Paramesium has cilia. Amoeba has pseudopods
How do plant-like protist move?
flagella or cilia.
Blepharisma have cilia or flagella?
cilia
Is the Stentor a Cilia or Flagella?
Cilia
How do protozoans move'?
Protozoans move with the help Pseudopodia, cilia and flagella. Pseudopodia - Amoeba Cilia - Paramaecium Flagella - Euglena
Is cilia longer than flagella?
No itis not. Flagella are longer than cilia
How do the cilia and flagella of protists differ from those of bacteria?
Bacteria only have cilia while protists have both cilia and flagella.
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.
