Locomotion occurs when body changes its position, however all movements may not result in locomotion. Thus, all locomotions are movements but all movements are not locomotion.
Slow movements
Sudden movements
(i) Slow movement include both vertical and horizontal movement which are caused due to forces deep within the earth.
(i) Sudden movements are caused by sudden endogenic forces coming...
Movement is one of the important characteristics of all the living organisms. Animals exhibit wide range of movements like rhythmic beating of heart, movement of diaphragm during respiration, ingestion of...
When the muscles are relaxed, the active sites remain covered with tropomyosin and troponin complex. Due to this, myosin cannot interact with active site of actin and thus contraction cannot...
Exoskeletal structures:
Exoskeleton provide support, help in movement and also provides protection from predators. The exoskeletal structures vary from organism to organism. Echinoderms have tube feet for locomotion whereas molluscs (e.g....
Bone, muscle and joint can be compared to the simple machines called levers. Joints act as fulcrum, respective muscle generates the force required to move the bone associated with joint.
(i) To justify a dimensionally correct equation need not be actually a correct equation,
consider equation, v2 = 2as
Dimensions of L.H.S. = [v2] = [L2M0T2]
Dimensions of R.H.S. = [as]= [L2M0T2]
⇒ [L.H.S.] = [R.H.S.]
This...
