how are cilia and flagella similar how are they different?
6274
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). Though eukaryotic flagella and motile cilia are structurally identical, the beating pattern of the two organelles can be different.

Flagellum, plural flagella, hairlike structure that acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many living organisms. Flagella, characteristic of the protozoan group Mastigophora, also occur on the gametes of algae, fungi, mosses, slime molds, and animals.

Cilia, flagella, and centrioles. Cilia and flagella are projections from the cell. They are made up of microtubules , as shown in this cartoon and are covered by an extension of the plasma membrane. They are motile and designed either to move the cell itself or to move substances over or around the cell.

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain structures known as cilia and flagella. These extensions from the cell surface aid in cell movement. ... Cilia and flagella are formed from specialized groupings of microtubules called basal bodies.

But flagella in eukaryotes and prokaryotes aren't connected by common genes or structures and you have to go so far back for a common ancestor. ... It produces analogous structures – they may look the same and function the same, but were derived separately.

Cilia beat in a coordinated rhythm either simultaneously (synchronous) or one after the other (metachronic). They beat independent of each other. Cilia use 'kinesin' which has an ATPase activity that produces energy to perform the movement. Flagella are powered by the proton-motive force by the plasma membrane.
356083
Prokaryotes sometimes have flagella, but they are structurally very different from eukaryotic flagella. Prokaryotes can have more than one flagella. They serve the same function in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes (to move an entire cell). ... Cilia are not found on prokaryotes.
811422
The three structures you are going to study today are cilia (cilium is singular), flagella (flagellum is singular), and pseudopods are all important cell structures. They are used for movement and/or getting food. ... Cilia are very short while flagella are long. Another difference is how many are found on cells.
616613
Cilia are found on eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, have flagella for locomotion.

Terms in this set (12) What is the difference between cilia and flagella? Cilia and flagella are both involved in movement, though cilia moves substances across its surface, while flagella moves itself as an entire cell from one point to another. ... Respiratory passage ways, along with mucin-secreting cells.
330387
Cilia and flagella are motile cellular appendages found in most microorganisms and animals, but not in higher plants. ... In eukaryotic cells, cilia and flagella contain the motor protein dynein and microtubules, which are composed of linear polymers of globular proteins called tubulin.

Function: controls heredity and cellular activities. Function: Cilia and flagella move small particles past fixed cells and are major form of locomotion in some cells. Structure: The endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus vacuoles, and vesticles.

Flagella are short, numerous hairlike projections from the plasma membrane. Flagella are longer and more numerous than cilia. In multicellular organisms, cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion. In prokaryotic cells, both cilia and flagella are composed of microtubules.

The function that do cilia and flagella in protists carry out is movement. They are different because cilia are short and numerous, like oars on a boat, while the flagella are relatively long and usually number one or two per cell.

Cilia are tiny hair like structures on the surface of the cell. The hairs sweep hair, mucus, trapped dust and bacteria up to the back of the throat where it can be swallowed.

Difference in Cell structure Similar to bacteria, archaea do not have interior membranes but both have a cell wall and use flagella to swim. Archaea differ in the fact that their cell wall does not contain peptidoglycan and cell membrane uses ether linked lipids as opposed to ester linked lipids in bacteria.

Cilia have several possible sensory functions, especially when part of nerve cells, and they may not move at all. Cilia are found only in eukaryotes while flagella are found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
