Question for practice
(1) Identity the wrong statements in the following, correct and rewrite them.
(a) The movement of bone is due to contraction and relaxation of muscles.
Answer:- This is a correct statement.

Answer:- Incorrect statement. The movement of plant stem is called phototropism.
(c) Rose plant shows seismoplasty
Answer:- Incorrect. Rose plant doesn’t show seismoplasty.
(d) The movement of roots towards light is called hydrotropism.
Answer:- Correct statement.
(2) What is tropism?
Answer:- (1) Stem moves in the direction of light, while the leaves of the touch-me-not plant close when touches
(2) Thus various parts of the plant show reaction to various stimuli and this process is called tropism.

Answer:- The users of muscles in the locomotion of animals are follows –
(1) Movement of animal from one place to another is called locomotion. Different animals use different means of locomotion.
(2) Locomotion in the earthworm is due to the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
(3) Mosquitoes and plies fly with the help of their wings. The wings move due to the movement of muscle attached to them.
(4) Vertebrates, the animals with backbones, move with the help of their skeletal and muscular systems.
(5) Fish move their fins and tails to be swim in water.
