True or false cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for respiration?
No, It is not used for respiration instead it is used for the movement or locomotion of body.
What is protozan locomotion?
Protozoa are capable of locomotion by means of cilia, flagella, or a pseudopodium. While cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used by protozoa for movement, the pseudopodium is a projection or false limb utilized for the same purpose. Protozoa are uni-cellular organisms.
How do funguslike protists move?
They move with flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
In what way flagellacilia and pseudopodia differ?
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.
Flagella are longer and more numerous than cillia?
Flagella are longer than cilia but, not as numerous as cilia. Cilia usually surround the surface of a cell. Flagella are usually found only once (eg. sperm)
True or false cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for respiration?
No, It is not used for respiration instead it is used for the movement or locomotion of body.
Are amoebas ciliates?
No. Amoeba and ciliates are two groups of protozoan parasites. The amoeba are unicellular, which are characterized by the pseudopodia. Ciliates are protozoa, unicellular and use cilia on their surface.

Are flagella usually smaller than Cilia?
False
What are organs of motility in protists you have learned about?
1. Flagella (long hairlike projections) 2. Cilia (Tiny hairlike projections) 3. Amoeba (ameboid movement by pseudopods, which means "false foot")
Is flagella longer and more numerous than cilia?
False. They are less numerous.
True or false dinoflagellates are one-celled algae with two flagella?
yes it is true
What are the three ways that animal-like protists move?
three ways protozoans move are cilia, pushing out part of their bodys called pseudopod, and flagella.
What cells contain flagella?
They are found in cilia. Cilias are found in eukaryotic cells.
What are three types of motility by protozoa?
1. Flagella (long hairlike projections) 2. Cilia (Tiny hairlike projections) 3. Amoeba (ameboid movement by pseudopods, which means "false foot")
