Pili(singular-pilus) are the hair like appendages found on the surface of many bacteria whereas Flagella(singular-flagellum) are tail like projections that protrudes from the cell body.
pili are require for bacterial conjugation whereas flagella functions in locomotion.
Pili are primarily compose of pilin proteins and flagella are made of protein called flagellin.

∙ 10y agoCytoskeleton (CSK) is a cellular scaffolding (or skeleton) contained within a cell's cytoplasm. The cell wall is outside the cell membrane and provides cells with support and protection.
While it was once thought to be only in eukaryotes, research has now identified that prokaryotes have them, too. Cell walls are only found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea.
The cytoskeleton plays important roles in intracellular transport and cellular division. It also forms structures such as flagella, cilia and lamellipodia. Cell walls act as filtering mechanisms and a pressure vessel that prevents over-expansion when water enters the cell.

What is the threadlike structur that propel cells through liquids?
the flagella
Is pili in prokaryotic cells?
Yes Pili Is An Prokaryotic Cell
How do mastigophora move?
With its Flagellum. It whips the flagellum to help it move.
What is pili pili?
An arrector pili is any of a group of small muscles attached to hair follicles in mammals, the contraction of which causes the hairs to stand on end.
What protein is the filament in a bacterial flagellum made of?
Bacterial flagellum is made up of a specific protein named flagellin.
What is the difference between the flagellum and cilium?
cilia increases the cell surface and flagella increases the locomotion
What structures if present allow bacteria to move?
A bacteria moves using a structure called the flagellum, which resembles a tail.
Is there any difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella?
Yes,there are differences.Eukariyotic flagellum has 9+2 structure and membrane covered.Bacterial flagella do not have those.
Difference between solenocytes and flame cells?
ÒFlame cells: ciliated fine-meshed cup. ÒSolenocytes: a single flagellum within cup.
What is the difference between pilus and fimbriea?
They both are noticed in gram negative bacteria only; -Fimbriea are much in number, where as pili are 2 or more -Fimbriea re specialized for attachment of bacteria to its host, and Pili are responsible for seduction(conjugation) and serve as receptors for certain viruses
What are the differences between pili and cilia other than the differences in their function?
They are almost the same but the pilus or pili extends. although, the pilus or pili and the cilia had the same use. _marcelo anzano_ Pili are found on prokaryotic cells. Cilia are found on eukaryotic cells.
What is the difference between prokaryotic cell and eurokaryotic cell?
The main difference is that Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. Or to be more accurate Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound compartments in which metabolic activity takes place. Such are membrane bound organelles like Mitochondria.
What is the difference between prokartoyes flagellum and eurkartoyes flagellum?
Prokaryotes have a circular DNA in the nucleoid region while lacking a true nucleus. They also lack any membrane organelles.Eukaryotes have a true nucleus and a nuclear membrane along with membrane bound organelles.Both possess a cell wall.
What nicknames does Omari Pili Johnson go by?
Omari Pili Johnson goes by Pili.
Do prokaryotes have boundaries like eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes have cell boundaries like eukaryotes. It has a cell membrane and a cell wall. There are two types of cell walls: Gram + or Gram-. The exterior of the cell usually has glycocalyx, flagellum, fimbriae, and pili. The glycocalyx can be sticky (a capsule) or loose (a slime layer). The flagellum look like whips and can help move the cell. The fimbriae look like short hairs and allow the cell to attach. The pili are longer than the fimbriae and shorter than the flagella. These allow the transfer of DNA from the cell to another cell.
What is the flagellum made up of?
microtubulesANSWERThis answer depends on what kind of a cell being spoken of. There is a difference between the make up of eukaryotic cells versus prokaryotic cells. If you are talking about Eukaryotic cells, than simply put, it is microtubules. However, if you are talkin about bacterial flagellum, these are made from a protein called flagellin.
How do you say strong bond in hawaiian?
In Hawaiian, "strong bond" is translated as "ka pili momona".
