Important traits 
  • the pleats and folds provide  surface area where cellular functions take place
  • rough ER have bumps on them, which are attached ribosomes that produce protein 
  • there are areas where they don't have ribosomes attached which are called smooth ER, which perform important functions for the cell

  • have a whiplike motion 
  • are composed of microtubules arranged in a 9+2
  •  a cell has one or two flagella 
  •  prokaryotic flagella contain cytoplasm and are enclosed by the plasma membrane
