How do coelenterates move from one place to another?

  1. By using pseudopodia

  2. By using cilia

  3. By using tentacles

  4. They do not move


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Coelenterates locomote with the help of tentacles.

In which organism are contractile fibrils found?

  1. Euglena

  2. Paramecium

  3. Hydra

  4. Earthworm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The inner muscular part of epitheliomuscular cells is provided with contractile fibrils.

How do body cells like macrophages and leukocytes move?

  1. By flagellar movement

  2. By pseudopodial movement

  3. By ciliary movement

  4. They are sessile


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Macrophages and leukocytes move by pseudopodial movement.

What are sessile organisms?

  1. Organisms which are not differentiated into sexes

  2. Organisms which cannot move

  3. Organisms which move by pseudopodia

  4. Organisms which have tentacles as locomotory organs


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Organisms which cannot move are called sessile organisms. They remain fixed at a place.

In which of the following organisms are cilia present for movement?

  1. Euglena

  2. Amoeba

  3. Paramecium

  4. Hydra


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Paramecium is surrounded by numerous minute cilia on the body which help in movement.

Which organism exhibits somersaulting method of locomotion?

  1. Euglena

  2. Hydra

  3. Amoeba

  4. Paramecium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hydra somersaults like an acrobat with the help of tentacles.

Which of the following organisms has/have developed water vascular system for locomotion?

  1. Octopus

  2. Starfish

  3. Molluscs

  4. Leech


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Starfish have developed water vascular system for locomotion.

Which of the following is/are not a means of locomotion in insects?

  1. Wings

  2. Appendages

  3. Muscular system

  4. Pseudopodia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pseudopodial movement is exhibited only by unicellular organisms and all insects are multicellular.

Which of the following organisms locomote(s) by contraction of longitudinal and circular muscles?

  1. Leech and earthworm

  2. Amoeba

  3. Starfish

  4. Hydra


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Leech and earthworm perform crawling or looping movement with the help of contraction and relaxation of circular and longitudinal muscles.

Which of the following is an example of non-muscular movement?

  1. Giving birth to a child

  2. Movement of limbs

  3. Movement of eyeballs

  4. Movement of sperms


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Movement of sperms is by flagella, which is a non-muscular movement.

_________ is the part of tube feet which attaches firmly to the substratum by vacuum action.

  1. Madreporite

  2. Ampulla

  3. Podium

  4. Sucker


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tube feet attach to the substrate by vacuum action of suckers.

Which type of movement is exhibited by euglena?

  1. Cyclosis

  2. Pseudopodial movement

  3. Flagellar movement

  4. Ciliary movement


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Euglena moves with the help of flagella, i.e. it shows flagellar movement.

Which of the following organisms have tube feet as the locomotary organ?

  1. Octopuses

  2. Starfish

  3. Molluscs

  4. Earthworms


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Starfish have tube feet as the locomotory organ.

Octopus locomotes by

  1. muscular feet

  2. muscular arms

  3. tentacles

  4. contraction and relaxation of body muscles


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Octopus has muscular arms for locomotion.

Which of the following is an example of internal organ movement?

  1. Movement of limbs

  2. Swimming of fish

  3. Movement of eyeballs

  4. Movement of uterine wall


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Uterine wall is inside the body and its contraction is an example of internal organ movement.
