Step-by-step solution
Movement is one of the significant features of living beings.Streaming of protoplasm in the unicellular organisms like Amoeba is a simple form of movement.Movement of cilia, flagella and tentacles are shown by many organisms. Animals perform locomotion for the search of food, shelter, mate, suitable breeding grounds, favourable climatic conditions or to escape from enemies/predators Movement of limbs, jaws, tongue, etc. require muscular movement and the contractile property of muscles.The methods of locomotion performed by animals vary with their habitats and the demand of the situation, but the main purpose is to search for food, shelter, mate, suitable breeding grounds, favourable climatic conditions, or to escape from enemies/predators.
