Cilia and Flagella are hairlike organelles that branch out from the surface of the cell, where they help in the movement. These organelles can be found in any eukaryotic cells.
Cilia are present when there are short and large numbers of organelles on the cell. Flagella are present when there are long and few numbers of organelles on the cell.
An example of Cilia is on your respiratory tract. Their job there is to trap particles and debris from the air you inhale. As these cilia move, they sweep the debris and materials back up your throat, where they're removed from when you swallow.
An example of Flagella is they're on sperm cells. They whip back and forth and swiftly propel unicellular organisms or specialized cells in multicellular organisms.

Is the Stentor a Cilia or Flagella?
Cilia
How do the cilia and flagella of protists differ from those of bacteria?
Bacteria only have cilia while protists have both cilia and flagella.
What three organelles enable eukaryotic cells to move?
Flagella, Cilia. and Microtubules / Microfilaments
What is the function of cilia and the flagella and where are they found?
Flagella is the tail-like piece connected to the Cell Body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it functions in locomotion. The Cilia is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells that also project from the cell body. In Eukaryotic Cells the Cilia and Flagella make up a group of organelles called the undulipodia and the Cilia and Flagella are structurally similar.
Cilia and flagella are made of protein filaments called?
Cilia and flagella are made of dynins and nexin proteins. Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules and they are long, wispy tentecles that resemble hair.
What is the function of cilia in a bacteria cell?
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.

What is prokaryotic cell movement attributed to?
cilia and flagella
Does flagella or cilia have a membrane?
If you are talking about the flagella and cilia separately, neither do.
What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
Blepharisma have cilia or flagella?
cilia
Is the Stentor a Cilia or Flagella?
Cilia
How do protozoans move'?
Protozoans move with the help Pseudopodia, cilia and flagella. Pseudopodia - Amoeba Cilia - Paramaecium Flagella - Euglena
Is cilia longer than flagella?
No itis not. Flagella are longer than cilia
How do the cilia and flagella of protists differ from those of bacteria?
Bacteria only have cilia while protists have both cilia and flagella.
What is the cilia function in a animal cell?
Cilia and flagella help the cell to 'swim' in the body and move around. They're like tails or tentacles.
What is the organ of locomotion of a ciliate protozoa?
== == They depend on the kind of protozoan. Possibilities are flagella (flagellum singular), cilia, or a pseudopod. == == == ==
