What is the function of the flagellum or ciliaof protozoa and where would these organisms live?
The function of flagellum and cilium is locomotion.
Which structures are not found in prokaryotes cells?
nuclei
Hairlike parts that spin to push a bacterium through water or other liquids?
Cilium (plural cilia) or flagellum (plural flagella).
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 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.
When was Spodoptera cilium created?
Spodoptera cilium was created in 1852.
A 9 2 array refers to?
In cell biology, a nine plus 2 array refers to the arrangement of microtubules in a cilium or flagellum. It is made up of a ring that consists of nine evenly spaced couplets that surrounds two central singlets.
What is the singular form of the word cilia?
Singular form for cilia is cilium. Cilium is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. In Latin cilium means eyelash.
What organelles are small hairlike structures used for movement or sensing things?
There are two types or hairlike structures that microorganisms use for movement. They are cilia (singular: cilium) and flagella (singular: flagellum). Usually microorganisms have cilia (more than one cilium) and flagellum (usually only one).
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.
