Protists use cilia primarily for movement and feeding. These hair-like structures cover their surfaces and beat in coordinated patterns, allowing the organism to swim through water. Additionally, cilia help in sweeping food particles towards the oral groove for ingestion, facilitating their feeding process. This versatility makes cilia essential for the survival and functionality of many protist species.

TRUE
no only animal and protists have cilia
Paramecium.
No, cilia are not long whip-like strings; they are short, hair-like structures that cover the surface of some protists. Cilia beat in coordinated patterns to help the organism move through water and can also be involved in feeding. In contrast, flagella are the long, whip-like structures used by some protists for movement.
Movement and feeding.
Some examples of protists that use cilia for locomotion include Paramecium and Didinium. Cilia are hair-like structures that help these protists move by beating in a coordinated manner, allowing them to glide through their aquatic environments.

TRUE

Monerans or prokaryotes are similar to protists because they are both unicellular. Their modes of locomotion is through the use of structures like flagella and cilia.
Paramecium.
protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)
These are anaerobic flagellated protozoan ( protists ), so flagella instead of cilia.
They move with flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
