Cilia and Flagella

I always think these two things should be in a pair...
Where it is found:

• Cilia: attached to the membrane of the cell
• Flagella: attatched to the membrane of the cell

What it looks like:

Cilia

Flagella

• Cilia: whip-like projections
• Flagella: just one whip-like projection (usually longer)

What it does:

• Cilia: moves liquid past the cell to allow the cell to move
• Flagella: moves liquid past the cell to allow the cell to move
• for single cells, like sperm, this allows them to swim, but for cells in an anchored tissue, like cells in our throat, it moves liquid over the cell itself

Here's where I got this info....
