Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hairlike structures visible on the Paramecium are called cilia, which allow it to move by beating in coordinated waves. Microfilaments and intermediate filaments are found inside the cell and are involved in maintaining its shape and structure, while flagella are longer whip-like structures used for movement in some organisms such as sperm cells.
