Question
Eukaryotic cell containing flagella is(A) cell lining the fallopian tube (B) sperm(C) Paramecium (D) cell lining the respiratory trac
Solution
The answer is (B) Sperm, (C) Paramecium, and (D) cell lining the respiratory tract.
Here's why:
(A) The cells lining the fallopian tube do not have flagella. They have cilia, which are shorter and more numerous than flagella.
(B) Sperm cells do have a flagellum, which is used for locomotion.
(C) Paramecium is a type of unicellular eukaryotic organism that uses flagella for movement.
(D) The cells lining the respiratory tract also have cilia, not flagella. However, in some literature, the cilia are sometimes referred to as a type of flagella (respiratory flagella). Therefore, depending on the context, this could be considered correct.
