Question

Differentiate between the structure and function of centriole and cilia/flagella.

Answer 1

Differentiation between the structure and function of centriole and cilia/flagella are followed by:

• Structure of centriole is nine groups of microtubules which are found in pairs, at the times of cell division, it moves towards the poles.

        Structure of cilia and flagella are made of microtubules, covered by plasma membrane.

• Function of centriole: It helps in animal's cell division.

       Function of cilia and flagella: It helps in moving of liquid past the surface of the cell.

Answer 2

Answer:

• "Cilia and flagella" are two kind of projected cellular structures from the cell.
• These are usually made up of microtubules.
• These are extended by covered plasma membrane.
• Their function in the cell is to either move the substances over or around the cell membrane.
• The primary purpose of the cilia is to maintain mammalian cells in fluid as a lubrication, mucous, or cells over its own surface.
• The major difference in their structure includes their lengths.
