What is the function of cilia and flagella?

Cilia and Flagella are hairlike organelles that branch out from the surface of the cell, where they help in the movement. These organelles can be found in any eukaryotic cells.Cilia are present when there are short and large numbers of organelles on the cell. Flagella are present when there are long and few numbers of organelles on the cell.An example of Cilia is on your respiratory tract. Their job there is to trap particles and debris from the air you inhale. As these cilia move, they sweep the debris and materials back up your throat, where they're removed from when you swallow.An example of Flagella is they're on sperm cells. They whip back and forth and swiftly propel unicellular organisms or specialized cells in multicellular organisms.


When viewing a slide of rapidly moving sperm cells a student concludes that these cells require a large amount of energy to maintain their activity organelles that most directly provide this energy?

The organelles that provide energy to rapidly moving sperm cells are mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouses of the cell. Mitochondria generate energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration, which fuels the movement and activity of the sperm cells.


Give 3 functions for cilia and flagella?

Movement: Cilia and flagella are involved in cell movement, such as in propelling single-celled organisms or moving substances across the surface of cells. Sensory functions: They can act as sensory organelles by helping cells detect changes in the environment. Clearance of mucus: In multicellular organisms, cilia in the respiratory tract help in clearing mucus and debris to keep the airways clear.

What aspect of cell function involves moving substances and signals among organelles?

What cell organelles is made mostly of fats and proteins and controls substances moving in and out of the cell?

The cell membrane is made mostly of fats and proteins, and it controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell by acting as a selectively permeable barrier. It regulates the passage of ions, molecules, and other substances to maintain the internal environment of the cell.


How do protest move substances through their cell bodies?

Proteins called motor proteins are responsible for moving substances through the cell body. These motor proteins can walk along structures called microtubules inside the cell and carry substances along with them to different parts of the cell.


Do substances with high thermal energy have fast moving particles?

Yes, substances with high thermal energy have particles that are moving rapidly. The higher the thermal energy, the faster the particles move. This movement is what we perceive as temperature or heat.


What is a network of channels called that is used for moving materials within the cell?

cytoskeleton assists movement of organelles


What is the net movement of substances to regions of lower concentration called?

This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.


What is the pathway of movement for substances traveling across a capillary wall?

Capillaries have very thin walls which are semi-permeable.


What things in a cell wall deal with cellular movement?

I believe there are multiple choices. There is the cytoplasm which uses cytoplasmic streaming for moving organelles around in the cell, there is also (on the outside) cillia and flagellum.


What is passive transpot?

Passive transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy. It occurs along a concentration gradient, with substances moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Examples include diffusion and facilitated diffusion.


Does cold exsit?

Cold occurs when atom movement in a substance slows down. The atoms of hot substances are moving more quickly than those of cooler substances which is the physical definition of cold. Cold is the absence of heat.


What are the cellular organelles located on the cell surface that protrude from the cell and beat and vibrate?

Cilia and flagella are the cellular organelles located on the cell surface that protrude from the cell and beat or vibrate. They are involved in various cellular functions such as movement, sensing the environment, and moving substances across the cell surface.


What two movement organelles are missing in a cheek cell?

I think they're called flagella and cilia. The flagella work like propellers and the cilia are little moving hairs that let a cell crawl.
