Detailed explanation-1: -Flagella are long, wavy structures that extend from the plasma membrane and are used to move an entire cell. • Cilia are short, hair-like structures that are used to move entire cells or substances along the outer surface of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cilia are short, hair like cell organelle extending from the surface of a living cell. Flagella are long, threadlike cell organelle present on the surface of a living cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cilia are small, slender, hair-like structures present on the surface of all mammalian cells. They are primitive in nature and could be single or many. Cilia play a major role in locomotion. They are also involved in mechanoreception. The organisms that possess cilia are known as ciliates.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cilia are short and there are usually many (hundreds) cilia per cell. On the other hand, flagella are longer and there are fewer flagella per cell (usually one to eight). Though eukaryotic flagella and motile cilia are structurally identical, the beating pattern of the two organelles can be different.
