Answer:

Cilia and flagella are slender, hair-like structures that protrude from many types of cells. In many cells, cilia act as a fundamental unit of motion, serving as key organelles that convert chemical energy into mechanical work in the form of an oscillatory beating motion.Flagella acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many living organisms.In multicellular organisms, cilia function to move a cell or group of cells or to help transport fluid or materials past them.Cilia are present on the surface of the cell in much greater numbers. Ciliated cells often have hundreds of cilia but flagellated cells usually have a single flagellum. The function of cilia is to move water relative to the cell in a regular movement of the cilia.
