What are two cell appendages that help the cells move?
flagella or cilia, but they can also move by cytoplasmic streaming
What structures are involved in cell movement?
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.
What three types of cells might have cilia or flagella?
protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)
Along hairlike structure used for movement?
In reference to cells, the answer is cilia.
Is flagella and vacuole the same thing?
no they are not. flagella is a part of an animal cell that allows the animal to walk around in it's environment. vacuoles are only found in plant cells.
Are cilia and flagella the major means of locomotion in multicellular organisms?
Only single cells contain flagella and cilia as the major means of locomotion.
Are cilia and flagella multicellular organisms?
NO! They are organelles of cells of both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
Important for locomotion of one-celled organisms?
cilia of flagella
What are short hairlike projections used for locomotion called?
Short hairlike projections that are used for locomotion are called cilia. Cilia are normally found on unicellular organisms and not multicellular organisms.
Name three ways in which cilia and flagella differ?
Cilia and flagella are the means of locomotion in unicellular organisms. They differ in the numbers found in cell, their sizes and their shapes.
What are 3 other means of locomotion in organisms other than muscle and bone?
Three other means of locomotion in organisms are flagella, pseudopod, and cilia.
Is nucleolus an organelle of locomotion?
No, flagella and cilia are organelles of locomotion.
What do bacteria use for locomotion?
flagella and cilia
What is protozan locomotion?
Protozoa are capable of locomotion by means of cilia, flagella, or a pseudopodium. While cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used by protozoa for movement, the pseudopodium is a projection or false limb utilized for the same purpose. Protozoa are uni-cellular organisms.
Is cilia and flagella harmless?
anyways they help in locomotion
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. == == == ==
What are cilia and flagella?
Cilia and flagella are whip-like appendages that extend from the surface of the cells. They move liquid past the surface of the cell . They also help single-celled organisms to swim.
