cells.....?

Question

if a sample of cells on a slide are stationary, what would they most likely be missing?

nucleus, flagella, chloroplasts, or mitochondria?

Answer 1

Flagella beyond the shadow of a doubt. They are the mobile and movement producing cellular appendage. Hope this helps you out there.

Answer 2

Flagella, or pseudopodia are used by cells for movement. However, not all cells are motile (move around). Some are stationary and adhere to the slide. Even if the cells in question are motile, it depends upon how the sample has been prepared - if the cells have been fixed with a preservative, they will not move around anyway, although the flagella may still be visible.

Answer 3

The answer to this question depends on the cell type. If you are talking about a prokaryote, then flagella is the best answer. If you are talking about a eukaryote, then actually I think mitochondria is a better answer. Without ATP, a eukaryotic cell is probably not going to be mobile. Also, there are other motility systems that eukaryotic cells use besides flagella.

Answer 4

Flagella....i mean if you mean stationary as in they aren't moving, Flagella are used for motion.

Answer 5

I think it's flagella 'cause it's the locomotory organ of cells,
but it could also be lacking a neucleus.If a cell lacks neucleus, it means that it's dead.This makes it stationary!!

Hope I helped!!!!!!

Answer 6

Stationary implies that the question is about motion. Which of the cellular organs you've listed is related to motion? Look it up!
