How are flagella and cilia alike in eukaryotic cells?
A
Both are involved in the process of cellular respiration.
B
Both are involved in cell movement and have a similar structure of microtubules.
C
Both are used for photosynthesis in plant cells.
D
Both are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of eukaryotic cells, which includes various organelles and structures like flagella and cilia.
Recognize that both flagella and cilia are hair-like structures that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells.
Learn that both flagella and cilia are primarily involved in cell movement. Flagella typically propel cells through a fluid environment, while cilia can move fluid over the cell surface or move the cell itself.
Examine the structural similarities: both flagella and cilia are composed of microtubules arranged in a '9+2' pattern, which means nine pairs of microtubules surround two central microtubules.
Differentiate their functions from other cellular processes: neither flagella nor cilia are involved in cellular respiration, photosynthesis, or protein synthesis, which are distinct cellular functions.
