Cilia are found on the outside of the cell as projections for bacteria and virus.

How fast does paramecium travel?
Cilia
How does a rotifer travel through water?
they move by spinning their cilia in a wheel motion and swimming through the ocean
Who discovered cilia?
Your father, who works on the corner at a crackhouse.
What little hairs that wave to move particles?
Cilia.
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.
Where are the cilia in the respiratory system located?
In the lining of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.
Are the thin hairs located just inside the nostrils to filter debris?
Cilia
How does a paramecium move?
A paramecium moves using tiny hair-like structures called cilia. These push against the surrounding material to create motion.
What are smell receptors called?
They are called the olfactory cilia (microscopic hairs) located in the olfactory epithelium.
Where is the cilia located in the cell?
Around the cell bodies but it also attaches itself to a microtube at one point.
Where are olfactory receptors located?
In vertebrates the olfactory receptors are located in the cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons. In insects olfactory receptors are located on the antennae and other chemo sensory organs.
Does Balantidium coli have cilia?
It has cilia
Blepharisma have cilia or flagella?
cilia
Is the Stentor a Cilia or Flagella?
Cilia
Do potato have cilia?
No plants have cilia.
How is cilia helpful to us?
Cilia are tiny hair like fibers that are located in our broncial tubes. They keep stuff from going into your lungs that don't belong there more or less like a filter. By the way, smoking kills the cilia and allows harmful particles to enter the lungs causing what is referred to as smokers cough. If a young person quits smoking the cilia may grow again but for older smokers the chances are slim that the cilia will ever come back.
How does cilia prevent pathogens from entering your body?
Cilia protect your body from pathogens up to a certain extent. The cilia in your lungs prevent dust particles and other such particles you breathe from entering your lungs by trapping them and sweeping them away. The cilia located on the cell membrane prevents certain substances from entering the selectively permeable cell membrane through that same manner. However, if you get a cut or something, cilia are not really going to protect pathogens from entering your body from that cut.
