    Cilia and flagella are organelles that project from cells and allow movement. They have a similar structure containing microtubule doublets in a 9+2 pattern. For single cells, cilia and flagella result in swimming movement, while for anchored cells, cilia sweep liquid across surfaces through their motion.

    ORGANELLES FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT, MOVEMENT, AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CELLS

    CILIA and FLAGELLA

    - Two locomotory projections in eukaryotes

    - They allow the cell to move like an oar or a whip.

    - Both have same structural composition, containing nine microtubule doublets arranged in a
    circle around two central microtubules called 9+2 pattern.

    - For single cells, the movement of cilia or flagella results in swimming.

    - For cells anchored in tissue, ciliary motion sweeps liquid across the cell surface.
