Question

Which of the following is not true about locomotion?

• A. Locomotion helps in search of food.
• B. Locomotion helps in search for favorable climatic conditions.
• C. Locomotion protects from predators.
• D. All movements are locomotion.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All movements are locomotion.

The ability to displace the whole body from one place to another is called locomotion. Organisms move from place to place in search of food, favourable conditions, for protection (to move away from enemies), and for survival. All movements are not locomotion. Moving a part of the body that does not displace the whole body is not locomotion.
