Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This is a whip-like structure that cells can have to help move them around.
A
cilia
B
pili
C
cytoskeleton
D
flagellum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -A flagellum is a whip-like structure that allows a cell to move. They are found in all three domains of the living world: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota, also known as protists, plants, animals, and fungi. While all three types of flagella are used for locomotion, they are structurally very different.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flagella are longer, whiplike projections that propel cells. Both cilia and flagella are composed of microtubules. They move cells through their watery environments. Cilia also move substances along the surface of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flagella is a whip-like structure present in bacterial cells which helps in their movement. Bacterial cells can have one or multiple flagella.
