_______ are Tiny Cells with Long Whip-Like Tails Called Flagella

Question

_______ are tiny cells with long whip-like tails called flagella.
A) Sperm
B) Ovum
C) Epithelial
D) Nerve

Accepted Answer

Sperm cells are the only cells with flagella, which is necessary for their movement towards the ovum during fertilization. Ovum cells, on the other hand, have cilia (short hair-like projections) to help sweep them towards the uterus. Epithelial cells are cells that cover and line surfaces in the body, and nerve cells (neurons) are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body and do not have flagella.
