Which of the following is not true of the protists? (a) they are unicellular, colonial, coenocytic, or simple multicellular organisms (b) their cilia and flagella have a $9+2$ arrangement of microtubules (c) they are prokaryotic, like the eubacteria and archaebacteria (d) some are free-living, and some are endosymbionts (e) most are aquatic and live in the ocean or in freshwater ponds
Cilia differ from flagella in the following ways (choose all that apply) Group of answer choices all of these answers are correct cilia are more numerous on the cell that has them compared to flagella they typically are shorter and more broad cilia and flagella are terms that can be used interchangeably because there are no significant differences between them

How do cilia and flagella differ? a. Cilia are made of microfilaments and flagella of microtubules. b. Cilia are helpful in the process of engulfing food. Flagella are involved in the movement of the organism. c. Cilia are short and found in large numbers on the cell surface whereas flagella are long and fewer in number. d.
