what are cilia and flagella? write one similarity and one dissimilarity between the two of them.
Answers
Answer: cilia is a hair like projection from they are usualy cover the whole body of organism . Flagella is only one in an organism body .
They both help in movement .
Cilia also help to capture food but flagella can't do this.
Explanation:
heyyyy mate........
Cilia and flagella are projections from the cell. Cilia and flagella are both auxiliary parts of living cells.
similarities includes ----
They are motile and designed either to move the cell itself or to move substances over or around the cell.
differences includes ----
Cilia are short and there are usually many (hundreds) cilia per cell. On the other hand, flagella are longer and there are fewer flagella per cell (usually one to eight).
Flagella are longer in size while cilia are shorter.
Cilia contributes in the prevention of dust accumulation in breathing tubes by simply creating a thin layer of mucous in the tube while the flagella mainly uses sperm cells to move and propel.
Cilia use ‘kinesin’ which has an ATPase activity that produces energy to perform the movement while the flagella are powered by the proton-motive force by the plasma membrane.
Cilia moves like the breast stroke in swimming while the flagella moves in an oar-like style.
Cilia are present in multi-cellular organisms and help in moving fluids past an immobile cell while the flagella are mainly found in gametes.
hope it helps....
