Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is correct regarding cilia characteristic?
A
Drive the cell in the same direction
B
Contains dynein protein
C
Can slide far
D
Snake like movements
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cilia does not function in absorption.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus in flagella and cilia, the pair of dynein, a motor protein, and tubulin, a rail or cytoskeletal protein, replaces the pair of myosin and actin in muscle and other motile systems. Later still another motor protein, “kinesin, ‘’ was found to be involved in microtubule-dependent motility.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dynein motor proteins generate the motive force to bend the flagellum and cause it to move with a whip‐like motion through the surrounding fluid. This motion is referred to as the flagellar or ciliary beat.
