What to Focus On

  • Movement may be cellular, organ-level, or organism-level.
  • Locomotion means movement of the whole organism from place to place.
  • Amoeba moves with pseudopodia.

  • Locomotion supports survival and reproduction.
  • It helps in food capture and predator escape.
  • It helps in dispersal and finding favourable habitats.

  • Hydrostatic skeleton depends on fluid pressure and muscles.
  • Exoskeleton is external and made mainly of chitin.
  • Endoskeleton is internal and grows with the body.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Locomotion and movement mean the same thing.

Amoeboid, flagellar, ciliary, and muscular movements all occur in the same way in all animals.

Cilia and flagella are the same because both are thread-like projections.
