Flagella, cilia and pseudopods are appendages that protists use for what purpose?

  • Correct Answer: movement
  • momentum
  • gravity
  • pressure

Explanation: Most protists have motility . This is the ability to move. Protists have three types of appendages for movement. As shown in Figure below , they may have flagella, cilia , or pseudopods (“false feet”). There may be one or more whip-like flagella. Cilia are similar to flagella, except they are shorter and there are more of them. They may completely cover the surface of the protist cell. Pseudopods are temporary, foot-like extensions of the cytoplasm.
