EasyMCQ
Match the following columns:
Column-$I$ (Organism)Column-$II$ (Locomotory Structure)
$P$. Hydra$I$. Limbs
$Q$. Paramecium$II$. Cilia
$R$. Amoeba$III$. Tentacles
$S$. Human$IV$. Cytoplasmic streaming
A
$(P-II), (Q-III), (R-IV), (S-I)$
B
$(P-II), (Q-IV), (R-III), (S-I)$
C
$(P-III), (Q-IV), (R-II), (S-I)$
D
$(P-III), (Q-II), (R-IV), (S-I)$

Solution

(D) The correct matching is as follows:
$1$. Hydra $(P)$ uses tentacles $(III)$ for locomotion and capturing prey.
$2$. Paramecium $(Q)$ uses cilia $(II)$ for movement.
$3$. Amoeba $(R)$ uses pseudopodia, which involves cytoplasmic streaming $(IV)$.
$4$. Humans $(S)$ use limbs $(I)$ for locomotion.
Therefore, the correct sequence is $(P-III), (Q-II), (R-IV), (S-I)$.

MediumMCQ
What type of movement is exhibited by human macrophages?
A
Amoeboid movement
B
Ciliary movement
C
Muscular movement
D
All of the above

Solution

(A) Macrophages and leucocytes in the blood exhibit amoeboid movement.
This type of movement is facilitated by the formation of pseudopodia,which are cytoplasmic extensions similar to those found in Amoeba.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.
53
MediumMCQ
Which of the following is an incorrect option regarding movement?
A
Removal of dust particles from the trachea
B
Transport of ovum in the fallopian tube
C
Movement of particles in the ear
D
Walking by human legs

Solution

(C) Movement is a significant characteristic of living organisms.
In the trachea,dust particles are removed by the ciliated epithelium,which is an example of ciliary movement.
The transport of the ovum in the fallopian tube also occurs via ciliary movement.
Walking by human legs is an example of muscular movement.
Option $C$,'Movement of particles in the ear',is not a recognized type of biological movement,making it the incorrect option.
54
MediumMCQ
.......... movement occurs in our tubular internal organs.
A
Ciliary
B
Muscular
C
Amoeboid
D
All of the above

Solution

(B) The movement of tubular internal organs, such as the alimentary canal and blood vessels, is primarily driven by the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles. This type of movement is known as $Muscular$ movement. Ciliary movement occurs in the respiratory tract and reproductive tract, while amoeboid movement is characteristic of certain white blood cells like macrophages and leucocytes. Therefore, the correct answer is $Muscular$.
55
MediumMCQ
Identify the incorrect option regarding the mode of locomotion.
A
Euglena - Movement by flagella
B
Trachea - Movement by flagella
C
Fallopian tube - Movement by cilia
D
Amoeba - Movement by pseudopodia

Solution

(B) The correct answer is $B$.
In the human body,the trachea (windpipe) is lined with ciliated epithelium.
These cilia beat in a coordinated manner to move mucus and trapped dust particles out of the respiratory tract.
Therefore,the movement in the trachea is mediated by cilia,not flagella.
$A$: Euglena uses flagella for locomotion.
$C$: The Fallopian tube uses ciliary movement to transport the ovum.
$D$: Amoeba uses pseudopodia (false feet) for movement.
56
EasyMCQ
Ciliary movement is found in -
A
Macrophages and leucocytes
B
Fallopian tube and leucocytes
C
Fallopian tube and Trachea
D
Tongue and Limbs

Solution

(C) Ciliary movement occurs in most of our internal tubular organs which are lined by ciliated epithelium.
In the human body, ciliary movement is observed in the $Fallopian$ $\text{tube}$ (to move the ovum towards the uterus) and the $Trachea$ (to remove dust particles and foreign substances from the respiratory tract).
Macrophages and leucocytes exhibit amoeboid movement.
Tongue and limbs exhibit muscular movement.
57
MediumMCQ
Which of the following terms are "not" related to amoeboid movement?
A
Pseudopodia
B
Macrophages
C
Flagella
D
Neutrophils

Solution

(C) Amoeboid movement is a type of movement exhibited by cells like macrophages and neutrophils in the human body, which involves the formation of pseudopodia (false feet) by the streaming of protoplasm.
Flagella, on the other hand, are hair-like outgrowths of the cell membrane that are primarily involved in locomotion in organisms like Euglena or in the movement of sperm cells.
Therefore, flagella are not related to amoeboid movement.

EasyMCQ
Following are various types of movements seen in plants $EXCEPT$ . . . . . . .
A
thigmotactic
B
chemotactic
C
phototropic
D
metastatic

Solution

(D) Plants exhibit various types of movements such as tropisms (e.g.,phototropic) and nastic or tactic movements (e.g.,thigmotactic,chemotactic) in response to environmental stimuli.
Metastatic movement is a term specifically used in the context of cancer biology to describe the spread of cancer cells from the primary site to other parts of the body.
Therefore,metastatic movement is not a type of plant movement.
