Detailed explanation-1: -ATP powers the movement of cilia and flagella in eukaryotic cell. These ATP molecules are hydrolysed into ADP+Ip in cilia and flagella by the activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -All motile somatic cilia, including those of the human respiratory tract, are similar in ultrastructure in that they consist of an axenome of 9 + 2 microtubules surrounded by a specialized extension of the cell membrane. The axonemal elements provide the ciliary motor, which is powered by ATP hydrolysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Among the ciliated epithelia performing mechanical functions, those of the trachea and the oviduct have been investigated in greatest detail regarding their energy supplies. Tracheal cilia beating require high levels of ATP.
Detailed explanation-4: -The motility of cilia and flagella is driven by thousands of dynein motors that hydrolyze adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Detailed explanation-5: -Ciliary and flagellar motion results from the coordinated sliding of outer doublet microtubules relative to their neighbours driven by ATP.
