The primary structures directly involved in locomotion (the propulsion of a body from one location to another) are skeletal muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments. These structures are nourished by blood brought to the tissues through the cardiovascular system and directed by nerves.

Describe Locomotion in protozoa with reference to ciliary and flagellar locomotion and mechanism thereof?

Protozoa use cilia and flagella for locomotion. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated fashion to move the protozoa. Flagella are longer and move in a whip-like motion to propel the organism. Both ciliary and flagellar locomotion involve the movement of microtubules within the structures, generating force and direction for the organism to move.


Why plants cannot show locomotion?

Because they have no structures like muscles to move with. They are rooted to the ground.


What is a long thread-like structures protruding from the surface prokaryotic cells and what are used for locomotion?

Flagella are long thread-like structures protruding from the surface of prokaryotic cells. They are used for locomotion by rotating like a propeller, allowing the cell to move through liquid environments.


How is a flexible skeleton related to locomotion in fishes?

I honestly don't know sorry :(


What is protozan locomotion?

Protozoa are capable of locomotion by means of cilia, flagella, or a pseudopodium. While cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used by protozoa for movement, the pseudopodium is a projection or false limb utilized for the same purpose. Protozoa are uni-cellular organisms.


What kingdom has the most members that do not have structures for moving from place to place?

The Kingdom Protista has the most members without structures for movement. This kingdom includes single-celled organisms such as protozoans and algae that may not have specialized structures for locomotion.


Which word is not related in meaning transit locomotion movement connection?

Connection is the least related. The other three all imply movement.


Which two structures are directly involved in locomotion in humans?

The skeletal system, including bones and joints, provides the framework and support necessary for movement. The muscular system consists of muscles that contract and relax to create the force needed for locomotion.


What structures provide locomotion in paramecium?

Paramecium contain cilia (hair like growth), all around their cell that helps them to move.


Important for locomotion of one-celled organisms?

One-celled organisms use structures like cilia and flagella for locomotion. Cilia are short, hair-like projections that beat in a coordinated manner to help the organism move, while flagella are longer whip-like structures that propel the cell forward through a whipping motion. Both structures are important for the movement of one-celled organisms in their environment.


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.
