Study Notes
Movement & Life
- We associate movement with life because living organisms often exhibit visible and purposeful movements.
- Movements caused by growth are gradual and permanent, while movements not connected with growth are temporary, purposeful, and directional.
- A cat running could be a movement not connected with growth. Running is temporary, purposeful (to catch prey or escape danger) and directional.
- A movement not connected with growth is a temporary directional movement with a specific purpose.
- A movement caused by growth is an irreversible and continuous process that contributes to a permanent change in size or shape.
- The purpose of movement in living organisms depends on the specific organism and its circumstances, enabling them to adapt to their environment, obtain food or shelter, and reproduce.
- Movements not connected with growth are temporary, directional, purposeful, and often visible.
- If a seedling's growth is stopped, it will not be able to grow bigger and may eventually die.
