  • Locomotion in Multicellular Organisms: Beyond Cilia and Flagella
    False.

    While cilia and flagella are involved in movement, they are not the major means of locomotion in multicellular organisms.

    Here's why:

    * Multicellular organisms have specialized systems for movement: These include muscles, bones, and joints in animals, and structures like roots, stems, and leaves in plants.

    * Cilia and flagella have other functions: Cilia are primarily involved in moving fluids and particles, while flagella are used for movement in single-celled organisms and for transporting sperm in animals.

    Therefore, cilia and flagella are not the primary means of locomotion in multicellular organisms.
