What are cilia and flagella? write one similarity and one dissimilarity between the two of them.
Answers
Answer:
Dissimilarity : cilia are small as compared to flagella & numerous in number, whereas flagella is larger in size as compared to flagella & usually 1 to 8 in number. Example : cilia in paramecium and flagella in euglena.
Flagella --are the complex filamentous cytoplasmic structure protruding through cell wall. These are unbranched, long, thread like structures, mostly composed of the protein flagellin, intricately embedded in the cell envelope.
Cilia-- are slender, microscopic, hair-like structures or organelles that extend from the surface of nearly all mammalian cells
similarity
They are motile and designed either to move the cell itself or to move substances over or around the cell.
dissimilarity
Flagella are longer in size while cilia are shorter.
