WHAT ARE CYLIA AND FLAGELLA?
They are whip-like structures projecting from the cell surface.
They contain a ring of nine double microtubules plus two central ones.
Flagella are larger and usually only one is present, as in a sperm. Cilia are smaller and many are present.
Cilia and flagella are used for locomotion. Cilia can also be used to create a current in the fluid next to the cell.
