Solution
Cilia:
Cilia are hair-like extensions throughout the cell membrane about 5-10 micrometers in length.
They play a vital role in cell locomotion, circulation, and feeding due to pendular stroke or sweeping movements. They beat in a coordinated fashion.
They are generally found in the various body tube linings.
Cilia are not found in bacteria. Bacteria are prokaryotes, whereas, cilia are predominantly present in eukaryotes.
Bacteria generally consist of flagella.
