Longer whip-like structures used for movement
A
Mitochondria
B
Flagella
C
Cell Wall
D
Nucleolus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flagella are whip-like appendages that undulate to move cells. They are longer than cilia, but have similar internal structures made of microtubules. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella differ greatly. Both flagella and cilia have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Flagella are whip like structures protruding from the surface of a cell that are used for locomotion. Flagella are similar to cilia except for the fact that flagella are longer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The little whip-like structures that help prokaryotic cells move are called flagella. The flagella spin around and this helps to move the prokaryotes, like bacteria, along.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagella are primarily used for cell movement and are found in prokaryotes as well as some eukaryotes. The prokaryotic flagellum spins, creating forward movement by a corkscrew shaped filament. A prokaryote can have one or several flagella, localized to one pole or spread out around the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -flagellum, plural flagella, hairlike structure that acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many living organisms.
