no
To give power, ATP energy, to the whip like motion of the flagella. An energy intensive action to say the least.
Beating of those cost energy. So this energy is produced by mitochondria
Cells that move by means of cilia or flagella require a high amount of energy to power the movement. Mitochondria are often concentrated near these structures because they produce ATP, the cell's energy currency, through cellular respiration. Having many mitochondria in these cells ensures a sufficient energy supply to support their movement.
dual flagella, meaning it possess two flagella
Flagellum is the locomotory organ of Euglena. It helps Euglena move through the water by beating in a whip-like motion.
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.

Mitochondria
No, mitochondria are organelles in a cell. Tails, or specifically flagella, are used for movement, and since mitochondria do not need to move from one place to another, they do not have tails.

Flagella are long, whiplike organelles found in many unicellular organisms that are used for movement. They propel the cell by generating a whip-like motion that helps the organism navigate through its environment. Flagella are composed of microtubules and are typically found in pairs or singly.
Movement of flagella or cilia is a active process.So the energy requirement is high.
Motion.
Flagellar motion is the movement of a cell or microorganism propelled by the action of whip-like structures called flagella. These flagella beat in a wave-like pattern, allowing the cell to swim or move through its environment. Flagellar motion is essential for the mobility and survival of many unicellular organisms.

The three organelles are cilia, flagella, and pseudopods. Cilia and flagella are structures that extend from the cell surface and help in cell motility, while pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane used for movement in certain cell types.
