Describe Locomotion in protozoa with reference to ciliary and flagellar locomotion and mechanism thereof?

Protozoa use cilia and flagella for locomotion. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated fashion to move the protozoa. Flagella are longer and move in a whip-like motion to propel the organism. Both ciliary and flagellar locomotion involve the movement of microtubules within the structures, generating force and direction for the organism to move.


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.
