Flagella and Cilia: Structure and Functions (With Diagram)

In this article we will discuss about the Structure and Functions of Flagella and Cilia. Structure of Flagella and Cilia: They are fine hair like movable protoplasmic processes of the cells which are capable of producing a current in the fluid medium for locomotion and passage of substances. Flagella are longer (100-200 µm) but fewer. Only 1-4 flagella occur per [...]
