Compare the composition, structure, and function of cilia and flagella
What will be an ideal response?
Microtubules serve as the working parts of two types of cell extensions called cilia (singular, cilium) and flagella (singular, flagellum). Ciliaare numerous, short extensions on a cell that move with the back-and-forth motion of oars. A flagellumresembles a whip and moves in an undulating manner. Cilia and flagella differ in length, number per cell, and pattern of movement. Nevertheless, they have a similar arrangement of microtubules at their core, which consists of nine pairs of microtubules arranged in a ring with two microtubules at the center.
