The long disk-like green structures within an Elodea cell are likely chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles that contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing light energy for photosynthesis. They play a key role in converting light energy into chemical energy for the plant.

Prokaryotic cell movement is mainly attributed to structures called flagella, which are long whip-like appendages that rotate like a propeller to propel the cell forward. Some prokaryotic cells also move using pili, which are shorter, hair-like structures that help to attach to surfaces and pull the cell along.
Flagella are whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of certain cells and are used for movement. They function by propelling the cell through fluid environments such as water. Flagella are found in a variety of organisms, including bacteria and some eukaryotic cells.
Two structures that could propel a eukaryotic microorganism are flagella and cilia. Flagella are long, whip-like appendages that help with cell movement by propelling the organism forward. Cilia, on the other hand, are shorter and more numerous hair-like structures that also aid in movement by beating in a coordinated manner. Both structures contain microtubules and motor proteins that allow for movement through the surrounding fluid.

Flagella are long thread-like structures protruding from the surface of prokaryotic cells. They are used for locomotion by rotating like a propeller, allowing the cell to move through liquid environments.
In a Prokaryotic cell, these structures are the flagella.
Microtubules are long, hollow protein structures that give support to a cell. They are also involved in various cellular processes such as cell division, intracellular transport, and maintaining cell shape.

Some prokaryotic cells also move using pili, which are shorter, hair-like structures that help to attach to surfaces and pull the cell along.
Flagella are longer than cilia but, not as numerous as cilia. Cilia usually surround the surface of a cell. Flagella are usually found only once (eg. sperm)
Flagella are long whip like structures that the organism has only one or two of. Cilia are numerous hair like structures that cover most of the organisms surface. Both impart locomotion to the organism.
Under a microscope, characteristics of filamentous algae that can be observed include long, thread-like structures, cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and sometimes reproductive structures like spores or gametes.
