What is a characteristic of hominids?
Bipedal locomotion, Upright posture
How would you choose between two characterstics to be used for developing a hierarchy in classification?
For developing a hierarchy of classification, we choose the fundamental characteristic among several other characteristics. For example, plants differ from animals in the absence of locomotion, chloroplasts, cell wall, etc. But, only locomotion is considered as the basic or fundamental feature that is used to distinguish between plants and animals. This is because the absence of locomotion in plants gave rise to many structural changes such as the presence of a cell wall for protection, and the presence of chloroplast for photosynthesis (as they cannot move around in search of food like animals). Thus, all these features are a result of locomotion. Therefore, locomotion is considered to be a fundamental characteristic. By choosing the basic or fundamental characteristic, we can make broad divisions in living organisms as the next level of characteristic is dependent on these. This goes on to form a hierarchy of characteristics.
Are plants locomotion?
yes lie!
How do plants differ from animals in terms of locomotion?
Animals can walk while plants cannot but plants can also move but not in locomotion they can only bent or creep in search of sunlight.
What of the five kingdoms have locomotion?
Organisms in the Animal kingdom are the only ones with the ability of locomotion. Plants, Fungi, Protists, and Monerans do not have this capability.
How would you answer scientists who say locomotion is a necessary characteristics of a animal?
While locomotion is a common characteristic of animals, there are exceptions such as sponges or barnacles that are sessile. These organisms have evolved unique feeding strategies to compensate for their lack of movement, showcasing the diversity of adaptations in the animal kingdom. Therefore, while locomotion is prevalent in many animals, it is not an essential characteristic for all.
Is plant locomotion present or absent?
Plant locomotion is generally absent, as plants are rooted in the ground and do not move from place to place like animals do. However, some plants exhibit movements in response to stimuli, such as the opening and closing of flowers or the bending of stems towards light.
What is a characteristic of plants?
All are multicellular
Why plants cannot show locomotion?
Because they have no structures like muscles to move with. They are rooted to the ground.
Why animal shows locomotion but plant don't?
Plants are unable to move under their own power.
What important characteristic did the ostracoderms possess?
The development of bone was an important evolutionary step. Bone provides a place for muscle attachment, which improves locomotion.
What is locomotion in paramoecium?
In paramecium, locomotion is achieved through the coordinated beating of cilia, which are hair-like structures on its surface. These cilia create currents in the surrounding water, allowing the paramecium to move in a characteristic spiraling motion. This movement helps the paramecium to navigate its environment, find food, and avoid predators.
