Question

lassify the following characteristics depending on if they are describing centrioles or cilia and flagella Thought to play a role in cell division Often aid in cellular movement Consist of nine pairs of microtubules surrounding two central microtubules Function as the major microtubule organizing center Hairlike projections that beat stiffly or undulate Typically exist in pairs at right angles to each other Short cylinders of microtubules arranged in nine sets of triplets Membrane-bound Centrioles Cilia and Flagella

Explanation / Answer

Centrioles:

thought to play a role in cell division

Exists in pairs right angles to each other

Short cylinder like microtubules arranges in 9 sets of triplets

Function as major microtubules organising centre

Cilia and flagella

: often aid in cellular movement

Hair like projections that beat stiffenly

Consists 9 pairs of microtubules with central 2 macro tubules

Membrane bound
