Flagella is the tail-like piece connected to the Cell Body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it functions in locomotion. The Cilia is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that also project from the cell body. In Eukaryotic Cells the Cilia and Flagella make up a group of organelles called the undulipodia and the Cilia and Flagella are structurally similar.

∙ 13y agothe cilia and flagella are components of cells. They are more often than not found on the capsule of the cell (assuming its prokaryotic) or the cell wall/membrane. They are little extensions of the membrane that allow the cells to move

What are short hairlike structures that move a cell?
flagella
Name three ways in which cilia and flagella differ?
Cilia and flagella are the means of locomotion in unicellular organisms. They differ in the numbers found in cell, their sizes and their shapes.
Which cytoskeleton fibers are found in cilia and flagella?
microtubules
Is the Stentor a Cilia or Flagella?
Cilia
How do the cilia and flagella of protists differ from those of bacteria?
Bacteria only have cilia while protists have both cilia and flagella.
Where are cilia and flagella found?
Cilia and flagella are found on the exterior of the cell membrane
What is the function of cilia in a bacteria cell?
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.

Are cilia and flagella found in the lungs?
Yes
Which cytoskeleton are found in cilia and flagella?
microtubules
What cytoskeleton fibers are found in cilia and flagella?
Microtubules
Which cytoskeleton fibers are found cilia and flagella?
microtubles
What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
What are short hairlike structures that move a cell?
flagella
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.
Name three ways in which cilia and flagella differ?
Cilia and flagella are the means of locomotion in unicellular organisms. They differ in the numbers found in cell, their sizes and their shapes.
Does flagella or cilia have a membrane?
If you are talking about the flagella and cilia separately, neither do.
