Cilia and flagella are elongated appendages on the surface of some cells by which the cells including many unicellular organisms propel themselves. In stationary cells cilia or flagella move material over the surface of the cell. Although flagella are five to twenty times, as long as cilia and move somewhat a differently.

Cilia and flagella have a similar structure. Both are membrane bound cylinders that enclose a matrix. In this matrix is an axoneme or axial filament, which consists of nine pairs of microtubules, arranged in a circle around two central tubules. This is called a 9+2 pattern of microtubules.

Each microtubule pair (a doublet) also has a pairs of dynein (protein) arms projecting toward a neighboring doublet and spokes extending toward the central pair of microtubules. Cilia and flagella move as a result of the microtubule doublets sliding along one another. In the cytoplasm at the base of each cilium or flagellum lies a short cylindrical basal body also made up to micro tubule and structurally identical to the centriol. The basal body controls the growth of the microtubules in cilia or flagella. The microtubule in the basal body from a 9+0 pattern: Nine sets of three with none in the middle.

Cilia are found in numerous .Flagella are found in one or two.
2).Cilia are found in Paramecium. Flagella are found in Bacteria.
3).Cilia are very tiny, short.Flagella are very long and narrow
