Question

The movement and locomotion of all animals is exactly the same
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

One of the main differences that differentiate living things from nonliving things is movement. Animals exhibit a wide range of locomotion and movements. These are voluntary actions performed by the organism. Locomotion and movement involve the use of specific body parts.

Complete answer: When the living organism moves a body part or its whole body without a change in the position of the organisms is referred to as a movement. Whereas, when the movement of a part or parts of the body leads to change in the location and position of the organism is called locomotion. The locomotion and movement of all animals are not the same as each exhibits different body parts. Birds use their wings to fly, while humans use their limbs for locomotion. There are three main types of movements. They are classified as amoeboid movement, ciliary movement, and muscular movement. Amoeboid type of movement is seen in many unicellular organisms such as Amoeba, Protists, Slime moulds and many more. The protoplasmic extension of the cell which appears like appendages is called pseudopodia. They are responsible for the amoeboid movement in the organism. Some organisms show the presence of hair-like extensions called cilia or flagella. The movement in such organisms take place by cilia and are known as the ciliary movement. Muscular movement is a complex type of movement seen in higher vertebrates. Muscular movement is brought by different types of muscles and joints.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note: Movements are seen in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In higher vertebrates, the muscular movement is carried out by three types of muscles: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Muscles regulate the function of producing force and motion.
