    Study Notes

    Movement

    • Movement is defined as an action by an organism that causes a change in position.
    • Movement is generally easier to detect in animals.
    • Locomotion is the movement of an animal from one place to another.
    • Corals and sponges are fixed in place, meaning they cannot locomote.
    • Corals and sponges can still move parts of their bodies.
    • Most plants cannot locomote.
    • Plant parts, such as flowers and shoots, move slowly.
    • Flowers slowly open.
    • Shoots bend towards the light as they grow.

    Movement

    • Movement is a change in position or place by an organism or part of an organism

    • Locomotion is the movement of an organism from one place to another
    • Some animals do not have the ability to locomote
      • Corals and sponges are fixed in one place
      • They can still move parts of their bodies
    • Most plants are unable to locomote
      • Plant parts move slowly, for example:
        • Flowers opening
        • Shoots bending towards the light as they grow
