flagella
flagellum (flagella)
A hair-like structure used for movement is called a cilium. Cilia are short, microscopic, hair-like structures that can be found on the surface of some cells. They beat in a coordinated manner to facilitate movement, such as propelling fluids over a cell or moving the cell itself.
Cilia are hair-like structures used by some cells for movement.
A hair-like structure used for movement in a cell is called a cilium or a flagellum. Cilia are shorter and numerous, while flagella are longer and usually fewer in number. Both structures help the cell to move and can also function in sensing the environment.
A cilium is a short, hair-like structure projecting from the surface of a cell. It can be involved in various functions such as movement, sensing the environment, and facilitating processes like the movement of fluids across the cell's surface.
cilium or cilia
A flagellum is a hair like structure that protrudes from the body of a prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism. Its primary function is for locomotion.
Flagella
Hair forms in a pouch-like structure below the skin called a hair follicle.
cilla
In animal cells: cilia (many cilia per cell) In bacterial cells: flagella (only one per cell)
