well yes. the plant cells gained energy from the sun and dyes, the animal like cells fed on sugars and other cells, thus those that had methods of movement fared better. plants still have CELLULAR MOVEMENT.
as for intelligent design. i dont doubt the possibility. BUT ITS NOT SCIENTIFIC. its unprovable. and even if an almighty guided it, would we be able to tell? there would have to be SOME mechanism at work. even if that mechanism is chance. a temporary altering of the probabilities of things combining. for the cillia, no, the CURRENT proteins did nothing, and the motor didnt work with out a single one. but there are other earlier versions not as complex, but also not as efficient. as for the chrysalis, like so many things, you have to go WAAAAAYYYY back to the early invertabrates. change of form from child to adult began then, and became slowly more complex. there is fossil and amber records of SOME of this, but most of it is inference.
