Long and few - or one - are flagella, short and numerous are called cilia.
Short hairlike projections that are used for locomotion are called cilia. Cilia are normally found on unicellular organisms and not multicellular organisms.
Cilia are hairlike projections from cells that move with a wave-like pattern. They are involved in a variety of functions, such as movement of fluid or particles along the cell's surface or sensory perception.
flagella
Flagella are actually long, whip-like structures that protrude from the cell surface and are involved in cell movement. They are less numerous than cilia and are usually found singly or in pairs on a cell. Flagella help cells move by propelling them through the environment.
Cilia are the long hairlike projections on cells that are composed of pairs of microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern. They are involved in cell motility and sensing the external environment.

Cilia.
Cilia are hairlike projections from cells that move with a wave-like pattern. They are involved in a variety of functions, such as movement of fluid or particles along the cell's surface or sensory perception.
Cilia are short, hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells. Flagellaare long, tail like projections. Unlike ciliates, flagellates usually have one flagellum.
Projections that allow the cell to move or to move substances along the surface of the cell are called cilia and flagella. Flagella is a single long hair that allows the cell to swim. Cilia are several projections used for movement across the cell surface.

Cilia are short, thin, hair-like projections found on the surface of some cells that wave in a coordinated back-and-forth movement. They are involved in various functions such as moving fluids over the cell surface or aiding in the movement of the cell itself.
