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 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.
How does the shape of sperm enable it to swim?
It has a flagella that is a tail like structure that propels it.
What hair like projections of the cell that beat and vibrate are called?
Cilia
How fast does paramecium travel?
Cilia
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.
What is the organ of locomotion of a ciliate protozoa?
