They are whip-like extensions of certain cells or unicellular organisms that functions as an organ of locomotion.
*** To help the cell move around (They are like little tails that they swim around with. They are only in prokaryotic cells.)
They are also in eukaryotic cells. However, in eukaryotic cells they are 10X thicker, much mroe complex and also have microtubules that extend along their entire length.
What else can I help you with?
Do eukaryotic cells contain flagella?
Yes, some eukaryotic cells contain flagella. These flagella are longer and less numerous than those found in prokaryotic cells, and they are involved in cell motility. Examples of eukaryotic cells with flagella include sperm cells and some types of protists.
Do prokaryotic cells have flagella?
Not all prokaryotic cells have flagella only some do. The flagella in prokaryotic cells are made up of the hook, filament and basal body.
Do animals cells have flagella?
Yes, flagella is like a tail at the end of the cell that helps the cell move.
What protist uses flagella?
No protists ure a flagella because only animal 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.
Is a flagella cell in a plant cell?
It is said that some plant sex cells contain a flagella.
Are there flagella on plant cells?
Generally not, although some plant sperm do have flagella.
Are flagella found in plant cells?
Flagella are not cells - they are extensions of cells that render the cell motile. (Think of it as a tail of some sort.) Sperms have flagella and other unicellular organisms such as paramecium and other organisms such as bacteria have flagella too. It isn't common for plant cells to have flagella.
What scientific name for flagella?
The scientific name for flagella is flagellum (singular) or flagella (plural). Flagella are whip-like structures used by cells for movement.
What cells contain flagella?
Flagella are commonly found in certain types of cells, such as sperm cells, some types of bacteria, and certain protists like Euglena. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that help these cells move through liquid environments.
What is the whip-like tail called?
Flagella. Flagella Flagellum (flagella is the plural form) flagella
What organelle is whiplike in structure?
Flagella are the organelles in cells that are whiplike in structure. They are responsible for providing motility to certain cells, such as sperm cells in animals and algae cells in plants.
