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.)
What else can I help you with?
What kind of organism gets food using cilia?
Paramecium is an organism that utilizes cilia to sweep food particles into its oral groove, helping it to feed.
What structure allow the paramecium to move?
Paramecium moves using hair-like structures called cilia. These cilia beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment.
Do blepharisma have cilia?
Yes, Blepharisma have cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that help with movement and feeding in many protists, including Blepharisma. The cilia beat in coordinated patterns to allow the organism to swim and capture food particles.
What type of movement euglena have pseudopodia flagella or cilia?
Euglina has flagella. Paramesium has cilia. Amoeba has pseudopods
The organism paramecium moves with what?
The organism paramecium moves using hair-like structures called cilia that cover its entire body. The coordinated beating of these cilia allows the paramecium to propel itself through water by creating a flow of water around its body.
Is paramecium unicellular organism?
Yessir.
What structure does this organism use to move through its environment?
This organism uses cilia for movement. Cilia are hair-like structures on the surface of the cell that beat rhythmically to propel the organism through its environment.
What kind of organism gets food using cilia?
Paramecium is an organism that utilizes cilia to sweep food particles into its oral groove, helping it to feed.
Are paramecium multiple-cell organism?
No. They are single cells with cilia. The cilia are short hair-like appendages.
What structure allow the paramecium to move?
Paramecium moves using hair-like structures called cilia. These cilia beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment.
Do blepharisma have cilia?
Yes, Blepharisma have cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that help with movement and feeding in many protists, including Blepharisma. The cilia beat in coordinated patterns to allow the organism to swim and capture food particles.
What type of movement euglena have pseudopodia flagella or cilia?
Euglina has flagella. Paramesium has cilia. Amoeba has pseudopods
How does tetrahymena move?
Tetrahymena moves by using cilia, which are hair-like structures on its body. These cilia beat in a coordinated fashion to propel the organism through the water.
How do flagella differ from cilia in eukaryotic cell?
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.
The organism paramecium moves with what?
The organism paramecium moves using hair-like structures called cilia that cover its entire body. The coordinated beating of these cilia allows the paramecium to propel itself through water by creating a flow of water around its body.
Self-supporting cell that travels using numerous hairlike cilia?
The cell you are referring to is likely a unicellular organism called a paramecium. Paramecia move using thousands of hairlike structures called cilia that beat in a coordinated manner, propelling the cell through the water. This type of movement is known as ciliary locomotion.
How do most protosists move?
Most protists move using structures called flagella, cilia, or pseudopods. Flagella are long whip-like structures that propel the organism through its environment, cilia are short hair-like projections that beat back and forth to propel the organism, and pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to move the organism.
