The majority of them are in animal cells, because animal cells and or animals do not use photosynthesis so they need to find their own food

hope this helped :)

Do any cells have both flagella and cilia?

No they are not in same cell. One type is found in one cell.


What protrudes from cell's surfaces and enable movement?

The flagella protrude from cell's surface and enable movement of the cell. Many single celled eukaryotes use flagella for movement.


What type of cell is the cilia a plant cell or animal cell?

it is in a plant cell


Which cytoskeleton fibers are found in cilia and flagella?

Cilia and flagella contain microtubules, which are a type of cytoskeleton fiber made up of tubulin protein subunits. Microtubules provide structural support and are involved in the movement of cilia and flagella.


What type of movement euglena have pseudopodia flagella or cilia?

Euglina has flagella. Paramesium has cilia. Amoeba has pseudopods


Distinguish cilia and flagella?

Cilia are tiny hair like structures that cover a cell and help it to move, move liquid that is around it or to clean something. A flagellum is a whip-like tail, usually cells only have one, occasionally two, and help the cell to move. Cilia and flagellum are only found on animal cells and not all animal cells have them.


Do volvoxs have cilia or a flagella?

These are a type of green algae. They are similar to other plants and they have a nuclear membrane around their nucleus.


Why would a cell that moved by means of cilia or flagella require a relatively large number of mitochondria?

Movement of flagella or cilia is a active process.So the energy requirement is high.


What do ciliates and flagelates have in common?

These terms usually refer to the type of cell that contains either cilia or flagella. Ciliate cells and flagellate cells can have lots in common or little in common depending on the species. They may both be prokaryotic cells. The cells may both contain cilia and a flagellum. To address the similarities/differences between cilia and flagella, both are chains of protein that exist (mainly) on the outside of a cell. Cilia lie all around, or mostly all around, the outside of a cell, and perform some automation functions, usually in relation to direction changes, etc. Flagella are usually at one point on the outside (or several points like in bi-flagellate cells), and perform the automation function of forward motion.


What type of organism is a cilia?

Cilia is plural for cilium, and does not refer to an organism of its own, rather it's a hairlike organelle, identical in structure to flagella (flagellum), the most common use in the human body is to facilitate the female egg as it travels from the fallopian tube to it's next destination. (It creates an "current" if you will, in the liquid that it occupies.)


Whipping what back and forth moves unicellular organisms?

Flagella is the tail like structure. the other type is Cilia - the hair like structures surrounding the cell


What are the different type of flagella?

There are two main types of flagella: bacterial flagella, which are long, helical structures made of a protein called flagellin and are used for locomotion, and eukaryotic flagella, which are structurally more complex and are found in organisms like protozoa and sperm cells. Eukaryotic flagella are composed of microtubules and have a whip-like motion.
