Answer / amreena
A flagellum (plural: flagella) is a long, slender
projection from the cell body, composed of microtubules and
surrounded by the plasma membrane. In small, single-cell
organisms they may function to propel the cell by beating
in a whip-like motion; in larger animals, they often serve
to move fluids along mucous membranes such as the lining of
the trachea.
A cell wall is a fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell,
located external to the cell membrane, that provides the
cell with structural support, protection, and a filtering
mechanism.
