1.	State the four basic types of locomotory movements seen in animals.
Answer» The four basic types locomotory movements seen in animals are: 1. Amoeboid movement: It is performed by pseudopodia, e.g. leucocytes. 2. Ciliary movement: It is performed by cilia, e.g. ciliated epithelium. In Paramoecium, cilia help in passage of food through cytopharynx. 3. Whirling movement: It is performed by flagella, e.g. sperms. 4. Muscular movement: It is performed by muscles, with the help of bones and joints.
