FLAGELLA
is a whip like tale that helps move the cell to where it wants to go.
CILIA
is tiny hairs in the cell that help the cell move and slide around its environment (helps move itself or the environment around it)

∙ 10y agoThe flagella either move the cell or move objects outside the cell around. For example: A sperm cell swims by the action of a flagellum while a collar cell in a sponge moves water through the sponge by the beating of its flagella.
They move by the interactions with microtubules.

Celia are a similar hairlike structure that is often used in the organ systems of more complex animals to move food or fecal material (intestines), help in the removal of
contaminants (lungs), etc.

∙ 11y agoThe canonical role of the flagellum is locomotion but it also often has function as a sensory organelle, being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe only animal cells is can think of that have a flagellum are the spermatozoa or sperm cells. These use the flagellum for the purposes of motion by flicking it like a tail to swim along.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agothem simple answer is this: getting where the food is, in other words: moving around
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoactually it's part of a cell, and only exists in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, not plants or animals
Wiki User
∙ 11y agowell kinda it is part of a euglena which is a protozoan which means it is a single celled oraganism it moves by spinning its flagellum like a whip
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt helps in locomotion.

What is flagelium?
A flagellum is part of an animal cell. It's a whiplike tail that helps certain cells to move using the same principles as a propeller. It portrudes from the cell like a tail.
Which organelle is only found in an animal cell?
plasmamembrane
What part of the cell is the outer part of an animal cell?
The outermost structure of an animal cell is the cell membrane. The cell membrane is the membrane separating the interior of the cell from the outside environment. It is made up of proteins and lipids.
Which cell has a flagellum?
Certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in the human body have flagellum. An example of a eukaryotic flagellated cell is the sperm cell, which uses its flagellum to propel itself through the female reproductive tract.
Is the nucleolus part of a animal cell or a plant cell?
The nucleus is part of both the plant and animal cells.
Is flagellum in plant or animal cell?
It is the animal cell.
Is flagellum found in plant or animal ceLLS?
NO i think in only animal. because flagellum and cilia moves the cell, but plants can't move.
What is flagellum in a cell?
Flagellum are organelles resembling hairlike structures. They enable movement of the cells in which they are a part of.
What organelles play an important role in the animal cell motility?
Flagellum
What is flagelium?
A flagellum is part of an animal cell. It's a whiplike tail that helps certain cells to move using the same principles as a propeller. It portrudes from the cell like a tail.
Which organelle is only found in an animal cell?
plasmamembrane
Is flagella and vacuole the same thing?
no they are not. flagella is a part of an animal cell that allows the animal to walk around in it's environment. vacuoles are only found in plant cells.
What part of the sperm cell is responsible for the locomotion?
The tail is the part of a sperm cell that is responsible for locomotion. Without a tail the sperm cell could not make it to the egg for fertilization.
In the body the muscles are responsible for movement what cell part performs this function?
Flagellum
In the human body the muscles are responsible for movement what cell part perform this function?
Flagellum
In a human body the muscles are responsible for movement What cell part performs this function?
flagellum
Is the flagellum found in plant or animal cells?
Flagellum can be found in some prokaryote and eukaryote cells but not in plant cells. Plant cells have cell walls to provide rigidness and that would contrast with flagellum, which purpose is to allow flexibility and movement.
