What else can I help you with?
Do paramecia have a flagella?
No, paramecia have cilia, which are tiny hair-like projections that propel the paramecium through its environment. Both flagella and cilia propel their cell through its environment.
Prokaryotes and eukaryotes have whip-like projections that help propel the cell through liquid What is the name of this whip-like projection?
The whip-like projection found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that helps propel the cell through liquid is called a flagellum.
What is the function of a sperm's cell's flagellum?
the nucleus is where DNA is stored and the flagellum is another major part commonly linked to the sperm cell.
Organelle made of long microtubules to propel the cell?
Flagella are organelles made of long microtubules that extend from the cell to help with cell movement. They propel the cell by a whip-like motion, generating force to propel the cell through fluid environments.
How do most protosists move?
Most protists move using structures called flagella, cilia, or pseudopods. Flagella are long whip-like structures that propel the organism through its environment, cilia are short hair-like projections that beat back and forth to propel the organism, and pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to move the organism.
What are organs of motility in protists you have learned about?
Some protists use cilia, flagella, or pseudopods for motility. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to move the cell. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that propel the cell forward. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to push the cell in a particular direction.
Explain how amoeba and paramecia move?
Amoeba extend pseudopodia by using their cytoskeleton and then drag the rest of the cell with this extension. Paramecium have cilia that line the cell and move it rather like the stroke of oars.
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.
What are the long hair-like extensions of the cell membrane that act to propel the cell?
The long hair-like extensions of the cell membrane that act to propel the cell are called cilia or flagella. Cilia are shorter, numerous, and work together in a coordinated manner to move the cell, while flagella are longer and usually present in fewer numbers, providing a whipping motion to propel the cell forward.
Tail like structure that functions in movement ameba?
The tail-like structure in amoeba is called a pseudopod. Pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane that help the amoeba move by shifting its shape and allowing it to "crawl" along surfaces. This movement helps the amoeba to find food and navigate its environment.
What are analogies for flagella?
A flagellum is a "whiplike" tail that serves to propel a cell forward. A fish would use its tail to help it move forward. Also, a powerboat is propelled by a rotor, which operates much like a flagellum (although it may be important to note that flagella are often longer than the cell; whereas boat motors are relatively small).
What is a flagellem?
Assuming you meant 'flagellum' - it's a tail-like structure in micro-organisms that helps to propel it forwards.
