Cells that move, such as sperm cells, often have tails for movement.
That tail is called a flagella and it allow the organism to swim much like a fish.
The other mechanism of transport is called silli, which look like little hairs covering the exterior of the organism. These hairs move back and forth to propel the body forward.

What structures are involved in a cell movement?
Cell movement involves structures such as the cytoskeleton, which includes microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, that provide support and allow for cellular movement. Cell adhesion molecules such as integrins play a role in interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix, facilitating cell migration. Additionally, motor proteins like myosin and dynein generate force to drive cell movement by interacting with the cytoskeletal components.
What belongs to the cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is composed of microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These structures provide support and shape to the cell, aid in cell movement and division, and help transport materials within the cell.
What structres carry out cell movement?
Flagella are external structures that propel cells. The cytoskeleton (I believe actin and myosin are the components of the cytoskeleton responsible for movement, but I'm not sure) is an internal structure that facilitates movement by changing the shape of the cell.
What structures do organisms that lack cell wall have to provide support?
Organisms that lack a cell wall, such as animals, usually have an internal skeleton made of bones or cartilage to provide support and protection. This skeletal system allows for movement and helps maintain the overall structure of the organism. Additionally, some cells in these organisms may have cytoskeleton structures like microtubules and actin filaments that provide internal support.
Hairlike structures in a cell with the capacity for movement?
Cilia and flagella are hairlike structures in a cell that can move. They are involved in various cellular processes such as cell motility and the movement of fluid. Cilia are short and numerous, while flagella are longer and usually occur singly or in pairs.
What are things that are noncellular besides cytoplasm?
Some examples of noncellular structures include the cell wall, extracellular matrix, and flagella. These structures provide support, protection, and movement to the cell.

Threadlike structures that control a cells activities are?
Microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments are threadlike structures that help control a cell's activities. They provide structural support, assist in cell division, and help with intracellular transport and movement. These structures are essential for maintaining cell shape and organization.
What belongs to the cytoskeleton?
The cytoskeleton is composed of microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These structures provide support and shape to the cell, aid in cell movement and division, and help transport materials within the cell.
Do cell structures move from cell to cell?
no, there can be a possible mutation but nothing major. there is movement inside the cell though.
Cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for 'what'?
movement
What structres carry out cell movement?

What are the long tail likestructures aiding in cell movement called?
In a Prokaryotic cell, these structures are the flagella.
What two types of structures deal with the movement of a cell?
Flagella and cilia
What structures allow for cell movement?
Cilia and flagella
Apical epithelial cell structures functions in the movement of materials across the surface of the cell?
Apical epithelial cell structures, such as microvilli and cilia, increase the surface area of the cell for absorption and movement of substances. Microvilli aid in absorption, while cilia facilitate the movement of materials along the cell surface, such as in the respiratory tract for mucus clearance.
What are tiny hair-like structures that help with cell movement called?
Cilia
