Which best describes the difference between protists that have cilia and those that have flagella?

Those that have cilia are animal-like protists, and those that have flagella are plant-like protists.

Those that have flagella are animal-like protists, and those that have cilia are plant-like protists.

Those with cilia move using hair-like extensions, and those with flagella move using a single whip-like extension.

Those that have cilia are heterotrophs, and those that have flagella are autotrophs.

Answer:Cilia are hair-like extensions that cover the whole body of the protist, while flagella are single hair-like extensions that are usually found on one end of the protist.

Cilia allow the protist to move in any direction, while flagella require the protist to turn around to switch direction.
