What is it called when some prokaryotes attach to other substrates by hairlike outgrowths which are shorter than flagella?
The hairlike outgrowths that some prokaryotes use to attach to substrates are called pili (or fimbriae). These structures are shorter than flagella and play a crucial role in adhesion to surfaces, including host tissues in pathogenic bacteria. Pili can also be involved in processes like conjugation, where genetic material is transferred between bacteria.

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.
Group characterized by cells with fine hairlike projections on their flagella?
The group is likely to be the Stramenopiles, which are characterized by having cells with flagella that have one long, fine hairlike projection and one shorter, smooth projection. This characteristic is known as "hairy" flagella and is distinctive to the Stramenopiles group.
What are the one or two hairlike structures that extend from the surface and help move the cells?
Cilia and flagella are the hairlike structures that extend from the surface of cells and help in cell movement. Cilia are short and numerous while flagella are longer and usually found singly or in pairs.
Long hairlike structure that grows out of a cell and enables the cell to move?
celia and flagella !!
Short hairlike projection called enablethe motion of some eukaryotic cells?
flagella
What is the cell's hairlike structure that helps with locomotion?
Hairlike projections that aid in the movement of substances along a cell's surface are called cilia
What organelles are small hairlike structures used for movement or sensing things?
There are two types or hairlike structures that microorganisms use for movement. They are cilia (singular: cilium) and flagella (singular: flagellum). Usually microorganisms have cilia (more than one cilium) and flagellum (usually only one).
What are short hairlike structures made of microtubules that help move cells?
Cilia and flagella are short hairlike structures made of microtubules that help move cells. Cilia are shorter and numerous, whereas flagella are longer and fewer in number. Both structures aid in cell movement and fluid flow.
What is a short numerous hairlike projections composed of pairs of microtubles?
They are called cilia.Long and fewer are called flagella.
