Animal Locomotion starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Animal Locomotion.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9
Describe how birds are adapted for flight.
Describe how frogs move both on land and in water.
Describe the difference between voluntary and involuntary movement in animals.
Describe the difference between walking and running in animals.
Describe the role of the notochord in the locomotion of chordates.
Explain how cilia and flagella help in the locomotion of unicellular organisms.
Explain how the structure of a bird’s wing helps it to fly.
Explain how the structure of a cheetah’s body helps it to run fast.
Explain why aquatic animals like fish have streamlined bodies.
Explain why some animals migrate long distances.
Name the type of locomotion used by snakes.
What is the main advantage of having a hydrostatic skeleton in soft-bodied animals?
What is the main function of the muscular system in animal locomotion?
What is the role of the exoskeleton in arthropod locomotion?
A scientist observes two aquatic animals: one moves by undulating its entire body from side to side, while the other uses its limbs to paddle through water. Identify the likely animal groups and explain the advantages of each locomotion method.
Compare and contrast the mechanisms of locomotion in annelids and arthropods, focusing on the role of their body structures.
Describe how the structure of the vertebral column in mammals contributes to flexibility and movement during locomotion.
Explain how the arrangement of muscles and bones in the forelimbs of mammals contributes to different types of locomotion such as running, swimming, and flying.
Explain why the energy cost of locomotion is generally higher for animals moving through air than for those moving through water.
