Question

what is cilia and flagella?
with diagram​

Answer 1

Cilia and flagella are cell organelles that are structurally similar but different in the length and functions. Cilia are present in organisms such as paramecium while flagella can be found in bacteria and sperm cells. Cilia are shorter and numerous than flagella.

Cilia and flagella are the most common organelles for locomotion in unicellular organisms. Organisms with cilia can move faster and more efficiently. Recent researches have discovered that white blood cells move in a similar fashion. When the body injures itself, the WBCs traverse the blood vessels with the help of cilia. Most prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms have flagella, but they differ from each other structurally and functionally.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cilia:

• Cilia are short, hair like appendages extending from the surface of a living cell.
• Short and hair like organelle (5-10µ)

Flagella:

• Flagella are long, threadlike appendages on the surface of a living cell.
• Long wipe like organelle (150µ)
