Cells - How Unicellular Organisms Move

How Unicellular Organisms Move


There are several ways in which unicellular cells move.

Cilia: Celia (like tiny hairs) work like the oars of a boat. They allow a unicellular organism to move. An example of an unicellular organism that uses cilia to move around is a Paramecia

Flagellum: Flagellum works like a tail to allow on unicellular organism to move by speeding ahead. An unicellular organism that uses this method to move is E. coli

Pseudopods: Pseudopods are parts of an organism that looks like feet. This allows an unicellular organism to change shape. An unicellular organism that uses this to move around is an amoeba
