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.
A bacterium that losst its flagella would be unable to?
A bacterium that loses its flagella would be unable to move or swim in its environment. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that bacteria use for motility, allowing them to propel themselves through liquid environments. Without flagella, the bacterium's ability to explore and find nutrients in its environment would be severely impaired.
How is flagella like a flag?
Flagella are whip-like structures that protrude from certain cells and aid in their movement, much like a flag waving in the wind. Both flagella and flags can be used for propulsion or signaling purposes.
Do plant cells and animal cells have flagella?
Yes they do. An example of what flagellum looks like would be sperm. Here is a mechanical lay-out to what they actually are made of. http://www.millerandlevine.com/km/evol/design2/fig-1.jpg also what the motor looks like http://www2.sad42.k12.me.us/teachers/lowell/7_grade_science/cell/Image5.jpg
Dynein is missing from the cilia and flagella of individuals with a specific inherited disorder These individuals have severe respiratory problems and if males are sterile What is the connection?
Dynein helps produces cilia and flagella. Ciliated cells in the respiratory tract propel mucus with dust and bacteria away from the lungs. If Cilia is not produced , you are more suseptible to breathing problems. Also the sperm is moved by its tail (the flagella) if this is not produced, the sperm cannot reach the egg. (this is the only method of propulsion for the sperm.)

What are the characteristics of cilia and flagella?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found on cells that are involved in movement. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and usually found singly or in pairs on a cell. Both cilia and flagella contain a core of microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern that provides support and drives movement.

Why did you use a young culture for flagella stain?
Using a young culture for flagella staining ensures that the bacterial cells are actively growing and able to produce flagella. Flagella are more likely to be present and intact on cells in a young culture compared to older cultures where flagella might have been lost or damaged over time. This increases the chances of successfully observing and staining the flagella.
Which of your cells would yo expect to have more mitochondria?
I would say muscle cells and sperm cells. The mitochondria is the power house of the cell producing the energy need for the cells. Our muscles use up a lot of energy doing everyday activities and sperm cells need the energy for the movement of its flagella.
What would happen if plant cells had no chlorophyll?
The cells would be unable to photosynthesise, and no glucose would be made. Therefore the plant would not be able to sustain itself and would simply die.
What arrangement of flagella would you expect to be associated with highly motile species?
Highly mitile species have eukaryotic flagella. These include cellular projection that will move to and fro. They can be found in either plant or animal cells.
What does having no blood vessels mean?
you would not be able to sents the nutrients and oxygen to your cells and you would be unable to live.

Why would cells that have flagellum need to have many mitochondria?
To give power, ATP energy, to the whip like motion of the flagella. An energy intensive action to say the least.
Along hairlike structure used for movement?
In reference to cells, the answer is cilia.
