Cilia are shorter than flagella. Both are hair-like structures that protrude from the surface of cells and are used for movement, but cilia are typically less than 10 micrometers long, while flagella can be significantly longer, often exceeding 10 micrometers. Additionally, cilia often occur in larger numbers and can move in a coordinated manner, whereas flagella usually appear singly or in pairs.
What else can I help you with?
What do flagella's do?
the long strands that move the cell and clean it the cilia is like this except they are shorter. NIBF: sometimes bacteria can use flagella to stick to surfaces, but when thinking about flagella in a broad sense, it is use for movement
What type of movement euglena have pseudopodia flagella or cilia?
Euglina has flagella. Paramesium has cilia. Amoeba has pseudopods
Is cilia longer than flagella?
No itis not. Flagella are longer than cilia
What does flagella do?
the long strands that move the cell and clean it the cilia is like this except they are shorter. NIBF: sometimes bacteria can use flagella to stick to surfaces, but when thinking about flagella in a broad sense, it is use for movement
Do eukaryotic cells contain flagella?
Yes, some eukaryotic cells contain flagella. These flagella are longer and less numerous than those found in prokaryotic cells, and they are involved in cell motility. Examples of eukaryotic cells with flagella include sperm cells and some types of protists.
Are cilia shorter and more numerous than flagella?

Name three ways in which cilia and flagella differ?
Cilia are shorter and more numerous than flagella. Flagella typically have a whip-like motion, while cilia have a coordinated back-and-forth movement. Functionally, cilia are involved in moving substances along the cell surface, while flagella are used for cell propulsion.
What is it called when some prokaryotes attach to other substrates by hairlike outgrowths which are shorter than flagella?
The hairlike outgrowths that some prokaryotes use to attach to substrates are called pili (or fimbriae). These structures are shorter than flagella and play a crucial role in adhesion to surfaces, including host tissues in pathogenic bacteria. Pili can also be involved in processes like conjugation, where genetic material is transferred between bacteria.
Is flagella longer and more numerous than cilia?
Flagella are longer and fewer in number compared to cilia. Flagella typically range from 10-200 micrometers in length and there are usually one to a few present per cell. Cilia, on the other hand, are shorter (usually 2-10 micrometers) and there are typically numerous cilia per cell.
Is flagella and vacuole the same thing?
no they are not. flagella is a part of an animal cell that allows the animal to walk around in it's environment. vacuoles are only found in plant cells.
What do flagellas do?

What the function of flagella?
If I remember my biology correctly, flagella are what a microorganism uses for movement.This link goes more in depth than I can, however:http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Flagella
How are cilia and flagella different in terms of their structure and function?
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures found in cells, but they differ in size and function. Cilia are shorter and more numerous, while flagella are longer and fewer in number. Cilia are primarily involved in moving substances along the cell surface, while flagella are used for cell movement.
