What is the function of flagella in parasites?

  1. For digestion

  2. For feeding

  3. For locomotion

  4. For reproduction

The correct answer is: For digestion

Flagella in parasites are primarily used for locomotion. They are whip-like structures that help the parasites move through their host's tissues or fluids. This movement is essential for the parasite's survival and ability to find nutrients. While digestion, feeding, and reproduction are important functions for parasites, the main purpose of flagella in parasites is to aid in locomotion.
