I am in Human Bio class right now and I saw the Cilia on a cell and totally thought of her haha. Sorry that I do not have your answer, but your not the only one wondering now haha.

What is the difference in cillia and villi?

Cilia are small hair-like structures on the outside of some single-celled organisms and are used for movement. Villi are very small finger-like projections that line the wall of the small intestine. They increase the surface area available for the absorption of nutrients.


What do ciliates sweep food into?

Ciliates sweep food into a structure called the oral groove, which helps direct food particles toward the cell mouth (cytostome) for ingestion. The coordinated beating of cilia around the oral groove facilitates this process by creating water currents that bring food closer to the cell. Once the food is captured, it is typically enclosed in a food vacuole for digestion.


List 3 similarities between the two types of cells?

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common the genetic material, that is, presence of DNAAlong with DNA, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common the presence of RNAProkaryotic and eukaryotic cells, both have a cell membrane covering themThe prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells similarities are seen in their basic chemical structures. Both are made up of carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acid, minerals, fats and vitaminsProkaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common ribosomes, that are the structures that make up proteinsProkaryotic and eukaryotic cells regulate the flow of nutrients and waste matter that enters and leaves the cellsProkaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both carry out the basic life process, that is, photosynthesis and reproduction.Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells need energy supply to surviveProkaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both have 'chemical noses' that keeps them updated and aware of all the reactions that occur within them and in the surrounding environmentProkaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common a fluid-like matrix called the cytoplasm that fills the cells.Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells both have a cytoskeleton within the cell to support themProkaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, both have a thin extension of the plasma membrane. It is supported by the cytoskeleton. It is observed in the flagella and cilia in eukaryotic cells and flagella, endoflagella, fimbriae and pili in prokaryotic cells. This is used for motility, adhering to surfaces or moving matter outside the cells.Some prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common glycocalyces. This is a sugar based structure that is sticky and helps the cells in anchoring to each other, thus, giving them some protection.Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells, both have lipid bilayer known as the plasma layer that forms the boundary between the inside and outside of the cell.

In reference to cells, the answer is cilia.


Do Rhizopods use cilia for locomotion?

No, Rhizopods primarily use pseudopods for locomotion. Pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane that help them move and capture food. Cilia are not commonly found in Rhizopods for locomotion.

What structure allow the paramecium to move?

Paramecium moves using hair-like structures called cilia. These cilia beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment.


How are epithelial cell adapted for absorption of material?

cilia cilia is wrong. The correct answer is microvilli. cilia is more for movement
