In what way flagellacilia and pseudopodia differ?

Answer 1

Flagella (plural of flagellum) and cilia are hair-like, extra-cellular projections. Flagella are usually associated with prokaryotic cells and have the function of conferring motility. Cilia tend to be associated with eukaryotic cells and again have the function of bringing about movement of the whole cell or as in the epithelial cells of animals are involved the movement or transport of materials. e.g. help to keep the lungs clean. Pseudopodia (plural of pseudopodium - meaning 'false foot') are usually associated with the whole-cell movement of amoeba. Extension of the cytoplasm allow the unicellular organism to move.

Answer 2

Flagella and cilia are both used for movement in certain cells, with flagella typically being longer and fewer in number compared to cilia. Pseudopodia, on the other hand, are temporary cytoplasmic projections used for movement and feeding in cells like amoebas. Both structures aid in cell motility but differ in their structure and function.
