Locomotion is the movement of an organism from one place to another.
It is either in search of food, shelter or to escape from predators
It is performed by many animals through walking, swimming, and flying.
The process of locomotion exhibited by organisms differs from their habitats and their situation.
Locomotion and movement are two different things.
Difference between Locomotion and Movement
Locomotions are voluntary structures whereas movements are voluntary or involuntary without moving from their original position.
Examples of Locomotion and Movement
To understand locomotion easily, here are some examples,
- Going for work or
- swimming in a pool
On the other hand, the examples of movement are
Blinking of an eye, breathing, or chewing without moving its position or location of the body
All locomotions are movements but all movements are not locomotions.
