Flagella and cilia have the exact same structures and functions, and the names merely indicate how many are present on a given cell. When found singly or in a pair, these cell protrusions are called flagella.

they allow the prokaryotic cell to move, but cilia also have the ability to create conjugation tubes for reproduction.
