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 are the characteristics of cilia and flagella?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found on cells that are involved in movement. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and usually found singly or in pairs on a cell. Both cilia and flagella contain a core of microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern that provides support and drives movement.
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.
Where are cilia and flagella found?
Cilia are found on the surface of many animal cells, where they help with movement and sensory functions. Flagella are typically found on certain types of cells, such as sperm cells, and they help with cell movement.
Is cilia and flagella harmless?
Yes, cilia and flagella are harmless structures found in some cells. They play important roles in cell movement and sensory functions.

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)
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.
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
How do cilia and flagella use the cytoskeletal components?
Cilia and flagella use the cytoskeletal components called microtubules to provide structural support and enable motility. Dynein motor proteins along the microtubules generate the bending movements that allow cilia and flagella to beat and move fluid or propel cells.
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.
Is flagella in animal cell or plant cell?
Flagella are typically found in animal cells, such as those of humans and other animals. Plant cells do not usually have flagella; instead, they may have structures called cilia or pseudopods for movement.
Where are cilia and flagella found?
Cilia are found on the surface of many animal cells, where they help with movement and sensory functions. Flagella are typically found on certain types of cells, such as sperm cells, and they help with cell movement.
What cellular structure are associated with moving of cells?
