What is a short numerous hairlike projections composed of pairs of microtubles?
They are called cilia.Long and fewer are called flagella.
What are organs of motility in protists you have learned about?
Some protists use cilia, flagella, or pseudopods for motility. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to move the cell. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that propel the cell forward. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to push the cell in a particular direction.
What has short hairlike structures?

Short hairlike projections called are used for movement by ciliates?
Flagella and cilia of eukaryotic cells consist of a bundle of paired microtubules, an axoneme, embedded in a matrix and surrounded by a membrane that is an extension of the cell membrane. These microtubules have the arrangement: 9 double tubules set in an outer ring around 2 central, separated tubules. At the base of the cilium or flagellum, within the cytoplasm, is a cylindrical structure called a 'basal body' or 'kinetosome'.
What complex structures used for locomotion evolved in protists?
Flagella, cilia, and pseudopods are examples of complex structures used for locomotion that have evolved in protists. Flagella are whip-like appendages that propel the organism through a liquid environment, cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat back and forth to move the organism, and pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane that enable the organism to crawl and engulf prey.
