Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of cilia: Cilia are hair-like structures that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells. They are composed of microtubules arranged in a specific pattern known as the '9+2' arrangement.

Identify the types of cilia: There are two main types of cilia, motile and non-motile (primary cilia). Motile cilia are involved in movement, while non-motile cilia have sensory functions.

Explore the function of motile cilia: Motile cilia are responsible for movement. They can propel cells through their environment or move fluid across the surface of stationary cells, such as in the respiratory tract.

Consider the options given: Evaluate each option based on the known functions of cilia. The options include propelling the cell, producing ATP, synthesizing proteins, and storing genetic information.

Select the correct function: Based on the understanding of cilia, the main function of motile cilia is to propel the cell through its environment, which aligns with the first option provided.
