The majority of animal (Kingdom Animalia) cells are not technically flagellated. Flagella are defined as long, thread like structures that propel a cell by rotating (like a propeller). The only cells in the human body that are technically considered flagellated are spermatozoa (males only). However, eukaryotic flagella are structurally identical to cilia (differs only in length and mode of motion). Cilia produces motion by rhythmic beating rather than rotation. Many animal cells, therefore, are ciliated. Examples in the human body include ciliated cells lining the trachea where they are responsible for 'sweeping out' foreign material attached to the surface of the trachea, and cells lining the Fallopian tubes that use cilia to sweep along the ovum during the female reproductive cycle.

How do water molds and downy mildews reproduce?
flagellated reproductive cells
What are the flagellated cells in the interior of a sponge called?
The flagellated cells in the interior of a sponge are called choanocytes. These specialized cells have a collar of microvilli surrounding a central flagellum, which they use to create water currents and filter food particles from the water. Choanocytes play a crucial role in the sponge's feeding and digestion processes.
What are some distinct characteristic of animal?
Gastrulation, multicellularity, collagen proteins, flagellated sperm, and heterotrophic nutrition.
What is a flagellated cell?
flagellated cell - any cell or one-celled organism equipped with a flagellumcell - (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals
Are angiosperm flagellated?
No, angiosperms do not have flagellated sperm. Instead, they have non-flagellated sperms that are carried to the egg by pollen tubes during fertilization.
What type of sponge canal system allows the best flagellated cells to volume ratio?
The leucon type can feed the most cells, then the sycon type, then the simplest ascon type. ^^
What type of sponge canal system is best suited for larger sponges because it allows for the best flagellated cells to volume ratio?
no
Where are collar cells located and what are two functions of these specialized cells?
Choanocyte (collar cells) are any of the flagellated cells located in the body cavity of a sponge. They surround the base of the flagellum. The function of these cells is to maintain the flow of water through the body of the sponge.

Why are cheek cells animal cells?
All the cells collected from an animal of which the human body is are animal.
How are animal cells from plant cells?
Animal cells are different from plant cells in that the cell wall of animal cells is not made up of cellulose.
