Okay, this question here says, how do the flagella of chlamydomonas differ from the flagellated cells of humans? the flagella of chlamydomonas, that is the unicellular green alga, differ from the flagellated cells of humans in many ways.
00:20
Actually, first in the structure.
00:22
So chlamydomonas flagella has two flagella actually.
00:32
Let me write that here for chlamydomonas, and here you have for humans.
00:44
So in this case, you have two flagellas of equal length.
00:49
These flagella are structurally similar to the eukaryotic flagella containing a 9 plus 2 arrangement of microtubules, where nine doublet microtubules surround a central pair, and they are involving both movement and sensory functions.

In case of the human flagella, specifically for the sperm tail, the structure of the human sperm tail is similar to the flagella of chlamydomonas in that it also consists of microtubules sequential a 9 plus 2 pattern...
