Question

Distinguish between synchronous and metachronous movements.

Answer 1

The movement of cilia is a type of rowing or sweep in motion. Cilia in Paramecium show two types of coordinated movements.

i. Synchronous movement: cilia in a transverse row beat simultaneously in one direction.

ii. metachronous movements: cilia of longitudinal row show sequential movement one after the other in one direction. It passes like a wave.

so the cilia movement in the longitudinal and transverse way is responsible for this.

Answer 2

The movement of cilia is of two type and a known as synchronous and metachronous movement.

Explanation:

• Increase of synchronous movement the cilia which are present in the organ or the organism is in transverse direction.

• As a result of this the movement of the cilia is in one definite direction and all the cilia moves in the same direction. the sweeping movement takes place in the direction of the movement.

• However in metachronous movement as the cilia are located in longitudinal direction the movement takes place in a wave like motion.
