Flagella and cilia of eukaryotic cells consist of a bundle of paired microtubules, an axoneme, embedded in a matrix and surrounded by a membrane that is an extension of the cell membrane. These microtubules have the arrangement: 9 double tubules set in an outer ring around 2 central, separated tubules.

At the base of the cilium or flagellum, within the cytoplasm, is a cylindrical structure called a 'basal body' or 'kinetosome'.

Protozoa which move by hairlike projections?

Protozoa that move by hairlike projections are known as ciliates. They have numerous hair-like structures called cilia that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment. Ciliates are found in various aquatic habitats and are known for their complex behaviors and feeding strategies.

What are three types of motility by protozoa?

Three types of motility by protozoa are ciliary movement, flagellar movement, and pseudopodial movement. Ciliary movement involves the coordinated beating of small hair-like structures called cilia, flagellar movement involves the use of whip-like structures called flagella, and pseudopodial movement involves the extension and retraction of temporary finger-like projections called pseudopods.
