True or false Ciliates use flagella for feeding and movement?

Ciliates are appropriately named because they use cilia.


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 do bacteria use for locomotion?

Bacteria can use flagella, cilia, or appendages called pili for locomotion. Flagella are long, whip-like structures that rotate to propel the bacterium forward. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in coordinated waves to move the bacterium. Pili can also help bacteria move by attaching to surfaces and pulling the cell forward.


What are the three structures protozoans use to move?

Protozoans move using cilia, flagella, or pseudopods. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that provide propulsion through a whipping motion. Pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that help the protozoan move by flowing in the direction of the extension.


Are cilia and flagella the major means of locomotion in multicellular organisms?

Cilia and flagella are structures that aid in locomotion in some multicellular organisms, but they are not the only means of movement. Other methods of locomotion in multicellular organisms can include muscle contractions, changes in body shape, and the use of appendages.

What do flagella's do?

the long strands that move the cell and clean it the cilia is like this except they are shorter. NIBF: sometimes bacteria can use flagella to stick to surfaces, but when thinking about flagella in a broad sense, it is use for movement

What 3 things do single celled organisms use to move around?

They have Flagellum attached to the back of them that propel them. Think of sperm cells: that little tail at the end in a flagellum.


Along hairlike structure used for movement?

In reference to cells, the answer is cilia.

What organelles are small hairlike structures used for movement or sensing things?

There are two types or hairlike structures that microorganisms use for movement. They are cilia (singular: cilium) and flagella (singular: flagellum). Usually microorganisms have cilia (more than one cilium) and flagellum (usually only one).
