Flagella are not cells - they are extensions of cells that render the cell motile. (Think of it as a tail of some sort.) Sperms have flagella and other unicellular organisms such as paramecium and other organisms such as bacteria have flagella too. It isn't common for plant cells to have flagella.

Is a flagella cell in a plant cell?

It is said that some plant sex cells contain a flagella.


Is flagella in animal cell or plant cell?

Flagella are typically found in animal cells, such as those of humans and other animals. Plant cells do not usually have flagella; instead, they may have structures called cilia or pseudopods for movement.


Is the flagella in the animal cell or the plant cell?

Generally neither. Plant cells to not have flagella and, apart from sperm, neither do animal cells. Flaglla are more characteristic of bacteria and protists.


Is cilia found in both plant and animal cells?

Most plant cells have neither flagellum nor cilium but in some cases there are exceptions. For example, the cycads have some cells with cilia and flagella. In particular, sperm cells have a flagella.


Where in the plant cell is flagella located?

Flagella are typically not found in plant cells, as they are more common in certain types of motile cells like sperm cells in animals and some protists. However, some plant cells, such as those in certain algae, may have flagella. In these cases, the flagella are usually located at the cell's surface, aiding in movement through water. In general, plant cells rely on other mechanisms for movement and do not have flagella as a standard feature.


Are there flagella on plant cells?

Generally not, although some plant sperm do have flagella.


What structures are found in an animal cell but not in plant cells?

centrioles, lysosomes, cilia or flagella


How do plant cells use flagella?

Well the flagella works as a propeller to help the cells move. However plant cells dont actually have flagella or cilia because they dont need to move. Some plants (bryophytes?) have motile sperm that have flagella. Also, only prokaryotic flagella work like propellers. Eukaryotic flagella whip back and forth rather than rotating.


Is flagella found in plant or animal cells?

it is not found in plants unless bacteria is in the plant because it is the tail part of bacteria. i am a 5th grader


Where can flagella be found?

Flagella can be found in various types of cells, including prokaryotic cells (bacteria and archaea) and some eukaryotic cells, such as sperm cells. They are long, whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of the cell and are involved in cell motility and movement.


Is cilia found in animal and plant cells?

yes, but rarely in plant cells. cycada are the most notable exception

The following are found in plant cells and NOT in animal cells: -plasmodesmata -chloroplasts -large central vacuoles -cell wall -tonoplast The following are found in animal cells and NOT in plant cells: -lysosomes -centrioles -flagella (although some are found in plant sperm)
