cilia are outside the cell. The help single or few-celled organisms move or like in the intestine they help increase absorption. Centrioles are located inside the cell and during division the move to opposite sides of the cell as it splits and are near the nucleus otherwise. I haven't been in Biology for a few years so i can't remember the exact function of them but i do know that much hope it helps!

What structures are found in an animal cell but not in plant cells?

centrioles, lysosomes, cilia or flagella


Basal bodies that form cilia and flagella originate from?

Basal bodies that give rise to cilia and flagella originate from centrioles in animal cells. These centrioles duplicate during the cell cycle and migrate to the cell membrane, where they mature into basal bodies and nucleate the growth of cilia or flagella.


What are the two rod shaped bodies by the basis of the cilia?

The two rod-shaped bodies at the base of cilia are called basal bodies. Basal bodies act as anchoring points for the cilia and are involved in the organization and control of ciliary movement.


What makes up the structures of centrioles basal bodies cilia and flagella?

Centrioles, basal bodies, cilia, and flagella are primarily composed of microtubules, which are cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein. Centrioles consist of a specific arrangement of nine triplets of microtubules, while basal bodies serve as the anchoring structures for cilia and flagella, consisting of nine pairs of microtubules arranged in a circular pattern. Cilia and flagella have a core structure called the axoneme, which typically features a "9+2" arrangement of microtubules—nine doublets surrounding two central singlets. These structures play essential roles in cellular movement and the organization of the cytoskeleton.


What role do micro-tubules play in the movement of chromosomes during mitosis?

CENTRIOLES Centrioles are barrel-shaped rings composed of microtubules that help move chromosomes around when a cell divides. Centrioles are involved in microtubule formation during cell division and the formation of cilia and flagela.

What are the differences between pili and cilia other than the differences in their function?

They are almost the same but the pilus or pili extends. although, the pilus or pili and the cilia had the same use. _marcelo anzano_ Pili are found on prokaryotic cells. Cilia are found on eukaryotic cells.


What is centrioles in cell?

Centrioles are present in animal cells.Cannot be seen in plant cells.


What is differences between plant and animal cells?

1) Plant cells have cell wall which is absent in animal cell. 2) Plant cell lack centrioles whereas animal cells have centrioles.


Do animals have a centroile?

Centrioles are found in animal cells and help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division. Centrioles replicate during the interphase stage of mitosis and meiosis. Centrioles called basal bodies form cilia and flagella.

What are the differences between flagella and cilia in terms of their structure and function?

Flagella and cilia are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they have distinct differences in terms of structure and function. Flagella are longer and fewer in number, while cilia are shorter and more numerous. Flagella typically move in a whip-like motion to propel the cell, while cilia have a back-and-forth motion to move substances along the cell surface. Both structures are made up of microtubules, but the arrangement and length of these microtubules differ between flagella and cilia.


What is made up of microfilaments and microtubules?

They build up the cytoskeleton.They also build structures like flagella,cilia,centrioles.
