Yes, flagella is like a tail at the end of the cell that helps the cell move.

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.


What organelle is whiplike in structure?

Flagella are the organelles in cells that are whiplike in structure. They are responsible for providing motility to certain cells, such as sperm cells in animals and algae cells in plants.


Do animals have flagella?

there are no animal cells that have a flagella, as animal cells, for the most part are stationary. Some move with aid by blood, etc. Only prokaryotes (Bacteria) have flagella, and only certain ones. I hope this clarifies the situation for you.


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.


Is flagella your feet?

Flagella are whip-like structures found in cells that help with movement, while feet are external appendages used for walking and support in animals. They serve different purposes and are structurally distinct from each other.


Do eukaryotic cells contain flagella?

Yes, some eukaryotic cells contain flagella. These flagella are longer and less numerous than those found in prokaryotic cells, and they are involved in cell motility. Examples of eukaryotic cells with flagella include sperm cells and some types of protists.


Do prokaryotic cells have flagella?

Not all prokaryotic cells have flagella only some do. The flagella in prokaryotic cells are made up of the hook, filament and basal body.


What protist uses flagella?

No protists ure a flagella because only animal cells have a flagella.


What type of cells is a cilia and a flagella found in?

The majority of them are in animal cells, because animal cells and or animals do not use photosynthesis so they need to find their own foodhope this helped :)~lindsey


Is a flagella cell in a plant cell?

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


Are there flagella on plant cells?

Generally not, although some plant sperm do have flagella.


Are flagella found in plant cells?

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.
