are flagella and cilia found in plant and animal cells?
351474
Cilia and flagella are motile cellular appendages found in most microorganisms and animals, but not in higher plants.

Cilia are structures for motility found primarily in: protozoa.

The basic plant cell shares a similar construction motif with the typical eukaryote cell, but does not have centrioles, lysosomes, intermediate filaments, cilia, or flagella, as does the animal cell. ... It is estimated that there are at least 260,000 species of plants in the world today.

They are motile and designed either to move the cell itself or to move substances over or around the cell. The primary purpose of cilia in mammalian cells is to move fluid, mucous, or cells over their surface. Cilia and flagella have the same internal structure. The major difference is in their length.

Cilia are short, hair like appendages extending from the surface of a living cell. Flagella are long, threadlike appendages on the surface of a living cell. Occurs throughout the cell surface. Presence at one end or two ends or all over the surface.

As plants and animals are eukaryotic, so they have almost similar cellular structure, but few organelles like chloroplast, plasmodesmata, cell wall, plastids, etc. are only found in the plant cell, while in there is no cell wall in the animal cell; instead they have cilia, the tight junction for other functionality.

What Are Cilia and Flagella? Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain structures known as cilia and flagella. These extensions from the cell surface aid in cell movement. They also help to move substances around cells and direct the flow of substances along tracts.

Centrioles are found as single structures in cilia and flagella in animal cells and some lower plant cells. ... In animal cells centrioles organise the pericentriolar material to produce microtubules including mitotic spindle fibres.

Cilia. With the exception of a majority of higher plants and fungi, cilia can be found on the surface of many eukaryotic cells. On these cells, cilia extend from the basal body. ... * Prokaryotes (bacteria) do not have cilia.

The primary purpose of cilia in mammalian cells is to move fluid, mucous, or cells over their surface. Cilia and flagella have the same internal structure. The major difference is in their length. Cilia and flagella move because of the interactions of a set of microtubules inside.

Cilia , Flagella and pseudopodia are the locomotory organs of microorganisms. CILIA : short hair like structure protruding out from the surface of bacteria, generally present in large numbers.

'Motile' (or moving) cilia are found in the lungs, respiratory tract and middle ear. These cilia have a rhythmic waving or beating motion. They work, for instance, to keep the airways clear of mucus and dirt, allowing us to breathe easily and without irritation. They also help propel sperm.

Plant cells do, however, have a number of other specialized structures, including a rigid cell wall, central vacuole, plasmodesmata, and chloroplasts. Although plants (and their typical cells) are non-motile, some species produce gametes that do exhibit flagella and are, therefore, able to move about.

flagella include location, movement and length. A large number of cilia tend to be located over a wide area of the cell surface while flagella are either solitary or few in number. Cilia move together, in a coordinated way, while flagella move independently. Cilia tend to be shorter than flagella.

A is correct. Cilia are found on eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, have flagella for locomotion. Eukaryotic flagella are similar to cilia in both structure and function.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) Plant cells have cell walls, one large vacuole per cell, and chloroplasts, while animal cells will have a cell membrane only and several smaller vacuoles. Animal cells also have a centriole, which is not found in most plant cells.

In eukaryotic cells, cilia and flagella contain the motor protein dynein and microtubules, which are composed of linear polymers of globular proteins called tubulin.
