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.

What projections allow the cell to move or moves substances along the surface of the cell?
Projections that allow the cell to move or to move substances along the surface of the cell are called cilia and flagella. Flagella is a single long hair that allows the cell to swim. Cilia are several projections used for movement across the cell surface.
How does a rotifer travel through water?
they move by spinning their cilia in a wheel motion and swimming through the ocean
What cilia and flagella look like?
Generally, the flagellum looks like a tail. They resemble a whip and acts like a motor for the bacteria. Flagella is plural for flagellum.
Why can some protists move faster than others?
Some can move faster than others because of 1) their size 2) the structure they use for moving* (sarcodines=pseudopods, ciliates=cilia, flagellates=flagella) *some of the structures move faster (i.e. sarcodines are slower than ciliates because the pseudopods take a while to form, while cilia can beat rapidly at the pace it wants to)
What is cell cilia used for?
They can help a small organism move or they can help a large organism move material/debris from one location to another.
What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
What structure involve in cell movement?
Cilia and Flagella.
Give 3 functions for cilia and flagella?
They both help in the movement. Flagella can sense temperature. Perhaps you mean 3 types of cilia or flagella?
What cell organelle is responsible for cell movement in a sperm cell?
The Flagella
Cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for 'what'?
movement
Hairlike structures in a cell with the capacity for movement?
Cilia!
Why are many mitochodria found in a cell that moves by means of cilia or flagella?
Moving quickly with flagella or cilia takes a lot of energy, and mitochondria provide this energy.
What three types of cells might have cilia or flagella?
protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)
What two types of structures deal with the movement of a cell?
Flagella and cilia
Along hairlike structure used for movement?
In reference to cells, the answer is cilia.
What has slender tubes that provide movement in cilia and flagella?
Microtubules
