Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cilia are hair-like structures found on the surface of many animal cells that move in a coordinated fashion to sweep materials across a surface. Flagella, on the other hand, are longer and move in a snakelike motion to propel the cell forward. Lysosomes are organelles that break down waste materials and microvilli are tiny projections that increase the surface area of a cell for absorption.
