  • Flagella: Understanding the Tail-Like Organelle in Cells
    The cell organelle with a tail-like appendage is the flagellum.

    Here's why:

    * Flagella are long, whip-like structures that extend from the cell surface. They are used for locomotion (movement) in some single-celled organisms like bacteria and sperm cells.

    * The "tail" of the flagellum is actually a complex arrangement of microtubules, which are protein filaments that slide past each other to create the whipping motion.
