A) True; the flagella will work in whip-like motion that resembles of beating
B) can't help with that Frowning Face
C) No; there is more cilia
D) No; flagella is definitely longer
E) I think the answer is yes, however, helical is a little weird of a word. The way cilia moves is more like a wave. I think it still counts as yes.

Hopefully someone will provide more details on the two. Slight Smile
