What is a long hair like structure used for locomotion?
flagellum
What does the word flagellum mean?
A flagellum is a long, thread-like organelle used by many microscopic organisms for locomotion and feeding.
What does pseudopodia do?
Pseudopodia are temporary extensions of the cell membrane used for movement in certain cells, such as amoebas. They can also be used to engulf food particles during phagocytosis.
How do you pronounce pseudopodia?
Pseudopodia is pronounced soo-duh-poh-dee-uh. It is the temporary projection from the cell of a amoeboid protozan. It is used for feed and locomotion.
What is the function of the setae on a worm?
Setae in annelids are stiff bristles present on the body. They help for example earthworms to attach to the surface and prevent backsliding during peristaltic motion. These hairs are what make it difficult to pull a worm straight from the ground. (finzio liflio)
What are the hairlike projections used for locomotion and obtaining food?
Cilia is the hairlike projections used for locomotion and obtaining food.
What are short hairlike projections used for locomotion called?
Short hairlike projections that are used for locomotion are called cilia. Cilia are normally found on unicellular organisms and not multicellular organisms.
Short projections used for oarlike locomotion are called?
CILIA
What are the hair like structures on a protozoa?
The hair-like structures on a protozoa are called cilia. Cilia are short, numerous, and hair-like projections that help in movement and feeding in protozoa. They are used for locomotion by beating in a coordinated manner.
Short hairlike projections called are used for movement by ciliates?
Flagella and cilia of eukaryotic cells consist of a bundle of paired microtubules, an axoneme, embedded in a matrix and surrounded by a membrane that is an extension of the cell membrane. These microtubules have the arrangement: 9 double tubules set in an outer ring around 2 central, separated tubules. At the base of the cilium or flagellum, within the cytoplasm, is a cylindrical structure called a 'basal body' or 'kinetosome'.
What complex structures used for locomotion evolved in protists?
Flagella, Cilia and Cytoplasmic Streaming. Cilia are small hairlike structures that protists use to "crawl". A flagella is a long tail that pushes and propels the protist forward, also used by sperm cells. Cytoplasmic Streaming is used by the amoeba to "ooze" its way to places.
What are similarities between the Paramecium and Amoeba?
*they are all animal like protists *they can move on their own *they feed on other animal like and plant like organisms
Hairlike structure that used for movement?
cilia
A long hairlike stucture used for movement?
vovuoles
A long hairlike strucutre used for movement?
Flagella
What does a cilia do in an animal cell?
cilia are short hair-like structures used for locomotion (movement)
What are hairlike substances that twisted together make up yarns and fabric?
The name of the tiny-hairlike strand used for making fabric is called Fibers
