Animal Locomotion starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Animal Locomotion.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8
Describe how a jellyfish moves in water.
Describe how a starfish moves.
Describe how snakes move without legs.
Describe how the body structure of a cheetah helps it to run fast.
Describe the difference between walking and running in animals.
Describe the role of muscles in animal locomotion.
Explain how the structure of a bird’s wing helps it to fly.
Explain the difference between voluntary and involuntary movement in animals.
Explain why aquatic animals often have streamlined bodies.
Explain why kangaroos hop instead of walk.
Explain why some animals migrate long distances.
What is the main advantage of bipedal locomotion in humans?
What is the main function of wings in birds?
Context: A group of animals called ‘arboreal animals’ spend most of their lives in trees.
Question: What adaptations in their limbs and tails help arboreal animals move efficiently in their environment?
Context: Some animals, such as frogs and grasshoppers, are known for their ability to jump long distances relative to their body size.
Question: What structural adaptations allow these animals to achieve such powerful jumps?
Describe how the hydrostatic skeleton in animals like earthworms and jellyfish enables movement.
Explain how the structure of a bat’s wing differs from that of a bird and how this affects their flight.
Explain why animals living in deserts, such as camels, have unique adaptations in their feet for locomotion.
Some animals, such as dolphins and whales, move their tails up and down to swim, while most fish move their tails side to side. Explain the evolutionary advantage of this difference in tail movement.
