Cillia and flagella are used for motility. Most cells of animals and plants do not need to be mobile, but small uni-cellular or organisms of few cells do. But it is not true that animal cells do not have cillia and flagella. Sperm need to be motile so they have flagella. Your lungs need to clear dust and small particles from them so they have cillia.

Is nucleolus an organelle of locomotion?

No, flagella and cilia are organelles of locomotion.


Are cilia and flagella the major means of locomotion in multicellular organisms?

Cilia and flagella are structures that aid in locomotion in some multicellular organisms, but they are not the only means of movement. Other methods of locomotion in multicellular organisms can include muscle contractions, changes in body shape, and the use of appendages.


Is flagella in animal cell or plant cell?

Flagella are typically found in animal cells, such as those of humans and other animals. Plant cells do not usually have flagella; instead, they may have structures called cilia or pseudopods for movement.


Is cilia and flagella harmless?

Yes, cilia and flagella are harmless structures found in some cells. They play important roles in cell movement and sensory functions.


Is cilia found in both plant and animal cells?

Most plant cells have neither flagellum nor cilium but in some cases there are exceptions. For example, the cycads have some cells with cilia and flagella. In particular, sperm cells have a flagella.


What moves the eukaryotic cell?

There are two main forms of locomotion in a eukaryotic cell. They are cilia and flagella. Both can be found on cells.


True or false in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion?

It is true that in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion. Locomotion is one of the characteristics of living organisms.


Where are cilia and flagella found?

Cilia are found on the surface of many animal cells, where they help with movement and sensory functions. Flagella are typically found on certain types of cells, such as sperm cells, and they help with cell movement.


What structures are found in an animal cell but not in plant cells?

centrioles, lysosomes, cilia or flagella


What are cilia and flagella?

Cilia and flagella are hair-like structures found on the surface of some cells. They help with movement and can either propel the cell through its environment (flagella) or move substances along the cell surface (cilia).


What is the organ of locomotion of a ciliate protozoa?

Do animals have flagella?

there are no animal cells that have a flagella, as animal cells, for the most part are stationary. Some move with aid by blood, etc. Only prokaryotes (Bacteria) have flagella, and only certain ones. I hope this clarifies the situation for you.
