Answer:

The ecological footprint is a method promoted by the Global Footprint Network to measure human demand on natural capital, i.e. the quantity of nature it takes to support people or an economy.[2][3][4] It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system. The accounts contrast the biologically productive area people use for their consumption to the biologically productive area available within a region or the world (biocapacity, the productive area that can regenerate what people demand from nature). In short, it is a measure of human impact on the environment.

Footprint and biocapacity can be compared at the individual, regional, national or global scale. Both footprint and biocapacity change every year with number of people, per person consumption, efficiency of production, and productivity of ecosystems. At a global scale, footprint assessments show how big humanity's demand is compared to what Earth can renew. Global Footprint Network estimates that, as of 2014, humanity has been using natural capital 1.7 times as fast as Earth can renew it, which they describe as meaning humanity's ecological footprint corresponds to 1.7 planet Earths.[1][5]

Ecological footprint analysis is widely used around the world in support of sustainability assessments.[6] It enables people to measure and manage the use of resources throughout the economy and explore the sustainability of individual lifestyles, goods and services, organizations, industry sectors, neighborhoods, cities, regions and nations.[2]

A tail like structures which allows certain unicellular organisms to move
yaroslaw [1]
The answer is flagella.

Flagella are tail-like structures which allow some unicellular organisms to move. Although their primary function is in locomotion, they can also serve as sensory organelles that are sensitive to chemicals or temperature of the environment. They can be found in all three domains - bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota:
- Bacterial flagella have a rotary motor at the base of each filament turning clockwise or counterclockwise
- Archaeal flagella look like bacterial flagella.
- Eukaryotic flagella are structurally complex cellular projections.
