Cilia and flagella are made up of
ALipid bilayer membranes resembling the cell plasma membrane
BCellulose fibres of the kind found in plant cell walls
CMicrotubules in the characteristic 9 + 2 axonemal pattern
DMicrofilaments of actin like the muscle cell contractile
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Microtubules in the characteristic 9 + 2 axonemal pattern
Eukaryotic cilia and flagella have axoneme with the 9 + 2 arrangement (9 outer doublets + 2 central singlets) of microtubules. Prokaryotic flagella are structurally and chemically very different (made of flagellin).
