What projections allow the cell to move or moves substances along the surface of the cell?
Projections that allow the cell to move or to move substances along the surface of the cell are called cilia and flagella. Flagella is a single long hair that allows the cell to swim. Cilia are several projections used for movement across the cell surface.
What is the energy source of the movement of flagella and cilia?
The energy source for flagella and cilia is the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule used throughout the cell. ATP gets its energy from glucose and glycerol, that is from food.
What hair like projections of the cell that beat and vibrate are called?
Cilia
Where are cilia located?
Cilia are found on the outside of the cell as projections for bacteria and virus.
Is cilia alive?
well, obviously if it was dead they it wouldn't be working an its like saying dogs aren't alive but there moving, that's just stupid. cilia is alive when its moving defiantly but they do die eventually.
What is the cilia in a cell structure?
Cilia are hair-like structures used by some cells for movement.
True or false cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for respiration?
No, It is not used for respiration instead it is used for the movement or locomotion of body.
Does cilia have a cell?
Cilia does not have any form of a cell. It is merely an organelle of a cell.
What are 2 cell appendages that are used for mobility?
Two cell appendages that are used for mobility are cilia and flagellum.
What does a cilia do in an animal cell?
cilia are short hair-like structures used for locomotion (movement)
A small saclike structure used to transport substances within the cell?
Cilia
What cell appendages are responsible for external movement?
Cells have two different kinds of appendages that are used for mobility. They have flagella and cilia. Both are used for movement.
How does paramecium use the cilia all over it's body?
The cilia all over it's body is used to move around. The cilia are like oars. The cilia at the gullet helps sweep food and water into the cell.
What type of cell is the cilia a plant cell or animal cell?
it is in a plant cell

What cell has cilia in it?
