Multiple choice biology skeleton and joints introduction to locomotion movement in animals skeleton and movements

Which of the following statements is not true?

  1. The cartilage is not as hard as bones.

  2. A snake moves by making loops.

  3. All animals show exactly similar movements.

  4. Snails move with the help of their muscular feet.

C Correct answer
Explanation

All animals exhibit different patterns of movements. The movements differ with differences in the types of joints present in the animals. Example: In birds, the forelimbs are modified to result in wings, which leads to flying movement. In case of kangaroos, the hind limbs are modified such that they contain flexible muscles resulting in their jumping movement. In humans, the legs are modified so that they walk with two limbs only, as opposed by other vertebral mammals like dogs, cats etc. which have 4 limbs.

Hence the statement, 'all animals show exactly same movements' is false.

Streaming of protoplasm in amoeba is an example of

  1. Locomotion

  2. Movement

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  •  Locomotion is when the movement of a part of the body leads to change in the position and location of the organism. 
  •  In multicellular animals, these movements include walking, running, jumping, crawling, climbing, swimming, flying, galloping, slithering, and so on. 
  • Cytoplasmic streaming, also called protoplasmic streaming, the movement of the fluid substance (cytoplasm) within a plant or animal cell.  If one of the proteins remains fixed on a substrate, such as a microfilament or a microtubule, the motor proteins can move organelles and other molecules through the cytoplasm. 
  •  In some unicellular organisms, such as amoeba, it provides the mechanism for cell locomotion. Hence, Streaming of protoplasm in amoeba is an example of Movement.
    • So, the correct answer is 'Movement'.

The cells of human body exhibits type of movement is

  1. Amoeboid

  2. Ciliary

  3. Muscular

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Movement is a characteristic feature of living organisms. The different types of movement exhibited by cells of the human body are: 

  • Amoeboid movement: Leucocytes present in the blood show amoeboid movement. 
  • Ciliary movement: Reproductive cells such as sperms and ova show ciliary movement.
  •  Muscular movements:  Muscle tissue found inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels serve to move substances throughout the body. Hence, The cells of the human body exhibits type of movement are Amoeboid, Ciliary and Muscular.
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

Which of the following is the form of locomotion?

  1. Swimming

  2. Opening of stomata

  3. Blooming of flowers

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Locomotion can be seen in  different media. 
Animals move through, or on, four types of environment: 

  • Aquatic (in or on water), 
  • terrestrial (on the ground or other surfaces, including arboreal, or tree-dwelling),
  •  fossorial (underground), and 
  • aerial (in the air). Hence, Swimming is the form of locomotion.
So, the correct answer is 'Swimming'.

The purpose of locomotion is to search

  1. Food

  2. Shelter

  3. Mate

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Animals move for a variety of reasons, such as to find food, a mate, a suitable microhabitat, or to escape predators.
  •  For many animals, the ability to move is essential for survival and, as a result, natural selection has shaped the locomotion methods and mechanisms used by moving organisms. Hence, The purpose of locomotion is to search Food, Shelter and Mate. So,the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
