What do you mean by Cilia and flagella?
What do mean by Cilia and flagella? The cilia and flagella are fine, hairlike filamentous processes of cytoplasm which provide locomotion to the entire cell or the organism.

The difference between Cilia and Flagella is that in the former Cilia are tuny protoplasmic process whereas in the latter flagella are long whip-like protoplasmic processes.
The difference between Cilia and Flagella are in Cilia number per cell ranging from 300 to 14000, occurring all over the surface of cell whereas in Flagella the number is very less, usually 1-4 per cell.
Cilia and flagella are hair-like, extremely thin, delicate microscopic structures found on the outer surface of the cell. Basically both have a similar structure but cilia are small-sized and numerous, while flagella are long, whip-like and fewer (usually one or two in a cell) in number.
