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 are 3 other means of locomotion in organisms other than muscle and bone?
Three other means of locomotion in organisms are flagella, pseudopod, and cilia.
What are three types of motility by protozoa?
1. Flagella (long hairlike projections) 2. Cilia (Tiny hairlike projections) 3. Amoeba (ameboid movement by pseudopods, which means "false foot")
Amoeboid movement is a method of locomotion used by which protozoans?
I - Amoeboid Locomotion - by means of pseudopodia II - Ciliary Locomotion - by means of cilia III - Flagellar Locomotion - by means of flagella IV - Metabolic or Contractile Locomotion- by means of myonemes
What are organs of motility in protists you have learned about?
1. Flagella (long hairlike projections) 2. Cilia (Tiny hairlike projections) 3. Amoeba (ameboid movement by pseudopods, which means "false foot")
How are protozoans differentiated by means of their locomotory organelles?
The pseudopodia enable amoeboid locomotion, the cilia allow for ciliary locomotion. The flagella allow for flagellar locomotion and the myonemes allow for metabolic contractile locomotion.
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.
Are cilia and flagella the major means of locomotion in multicellular organisms?
Only single cells contain flagella and cilia as the major means of locomotion.
True or false in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion?
It is true that in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion. Locomotion is one of the characteristics of living organisms.
How are flagella similar to cilia in structure and function?
They are used for cell movement.
What is protozan locomotion?
Protozoa are capable of locomotion by means of cilia, flagella, or a pseudopodium. While cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used by protozoa for movement, the pseudopodium is a projection or false limb utilized for the same purpose. Protozoa are uni-cellular organisms.
What are 3 other means of locomotion in organisms other than muscle and bone?
Three other means of locomotion in organisms are flagella, pseudopod, and cilia.
Why might a cell that moves by means of cilia or flagella contain many mitichondria?
Kickin incredibly dope shut since 92 thumps up

What does motile mean in terms of microbes?
Motile means they move under their own power. Flagella or cilia. Opposite of sessile, which means fixed in position, or at the mercy of currents.
Why do animal and plant cells lack cilia flagella or other means of locomotion?
Cillia and flagella are used for motility. Most cells of animals and plants do not need to be mobile, but small uni-cellular or organisms of few cells do. But it is not true that animal cells do not have cillia and flagella. Sperm need to be motile so they have flagella. Your lungs need to clear dust and small particles from them so they have cillia.
Amoeboid movement is a method of locomotion used by which protozoans?
I - Amoeboid Locomotion - by means of pseudopodia II - Ciliary Locomotion - by means of cilia III - Flagellar Locomotion - by means of flagella IV - Metabolic or Contractile Locomotion- by means of myonemes
How do difflugia move?
It is a heterotroph and it engulfs its food
