They are composed of microtubules in a "9 + 2" array, similar to centrioles but with two additional microtubules in the center.

Flagella are longer and more numerous than cilia?
Np, they are less numerous then cilia
Is flagella longer and more numerous than cilia?
False. They are less numerous.
What do cilia and flagella do?
It is because the cilia and flagella are a hairlike shape, and they can move either swiftly like a whip or stiffly like the oar of a ship that they are useful. They are capable of movement and they can act as sweepers, like in our respiratory tract, maintaining our lung health; or give sperm movement.
What is the flagella and cilia?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures that extend from the surface of the cell, where they assist in movement.Cilia are short and more numerous than the longer flagella. They both have a membrane on their outer surface and have an internal structure of nine pairs of microtubules around two central tubules.Sources:Postlethwait, John H., and Janet L. Hopson.

Function of cilia in homeostasis?
Cilia are in the message pathways. They are important to homeostasis because they send signals to other parts of the body telling them to heat up or cool down.
Cilia and flagella are made of protein filaments called?
Cilia and flagella are made of dynins and nexin proteins. Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules and they are long, wispy tentecles that resemble hair.
What is a locomotive structure made up of microtubules?
cilia and flagella
How do cilia and flagella use the cytoskeletal components?
Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules.Both have same structure.In eukariyotes they have 9+2 structure.
Are cilia and flagella made of proteins filaments called er?
They are made up of Tubulin.
What do centrosomes form?
Centrioles, cilia, and flagella are all made up of microtubules.
Is it true that cilia and flagella are made up of proteins filaments called endoplasmic reticumlum?
no
What are hollow structures in the cell that sometimes extend from the cell to make up cilia or flagella?
Extensions of the centrioles are what make up cilia and flagella.
What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
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 makes up cilia flagella and centrioles?
microtubules
