Question

function of cilia and flagella​

Answer 1

Heya!!

Cilia and Flagella helps the paramoecium in moving and ingesting food easily in its body . They are hair like structures.

Thanks!

Answer 2

hey mate...

here is your answer...

                             CILIA

>>Cilia play roles in the cell cycle as well as animal development, such as in the heart. Cilia selectively allow certain proteins in to function properly. Cilia also play a role of cellular communication and molecular trafficking.

>>Motile cilia possess a 9+2 arrangement of nine outer microtubule pairs, along with a center of two microtubules. Motile cilia use their rhythmic undulation to sweep away substances, as in clearing dirt, dust, micro-organisms and mucus, to prevent disease. This is why they exist on the linings of respiratory passages. Motile cilia can both sense and move extracellular fluid.

                          FLAGELLA

>>Flagella provide movement for bacteria but also provide a mechanism for pathogenic bacteria to aid in colonizing hosts and therefore transmitting diseases. Flagella use a twist-and-stick method to anchor bacteria onto surfaces. Flagella also function as bridges or scaffolds for adhesion to host tissue.

>>Flagella can be found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are long filament organelles made of several proteins that reach as much as 20 micrometers in length away from their surface on bacteria. Typically, flagella are longer than cilia and provide movement and propulsion. Bacterial flagella filament motors can spin as fast as 15,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The swimming capability of flagella aids in their function, whether it be for seeking food and nutrients, reproduction or invading hosts.
