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.
