MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cilia are short, numerous, hair-like projections from the plasma membrane. They move in a “wave” motion. The cilia move the cell by beating rhythmically. Flagella function to move the cell by one long projection that moves in a whip-like motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cilia are short, numerous, hair-like projections that move in a wavelike motion. Some cell surfaces have cilia and flagella, which are structures that aid in locomotion or feeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -The function of cilia is to move water relative to the cell in a regular movement of the cilia. This process can either result in the cell moving through the water, typical for many single-celled organisms, or in moving water and its contents across the surface of the cell.
