A) cilia
B) microvilli

D) flagella
E) found in the respiratory tract

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description given in the question matches with the structure of flagella, which are long, whip-like projections composed of microtubules and used for cell locomotion. Cilia are also similar but shorter and more numerous, and they are commonly found in the respiratory tract. Microvilli are tiny, finger-like projections that increase the surface area of a cell. Pseudopodia are temporary, cytoplasmic extensions used for cell movement and engulfment of food.
