Answer 1

Hi friend,

(i) Amoeboid locomotion is movement in eukaryotic cells.It is just a crawling of some unicellular organisms or cells.These movement is used applied by the organisms which font have any feet,fins or wings.But the organism should be in amorphous in shape.

(ii) The upward waving motion of the hairlike processes in organisms like cilia this results in relaxation of myoids on side of cilium.

(iii) Sry don't know.

(iv) In this the foot remains attached to the substrate and the body bends till the tentacles touch the ground and get attached to the substrate. At this moment the foot looses its hold from the ground and is placed closed to the tentacles.The cycle continues.

(v)In this movement the hydra's foot is fixed to the ground and the body bends then it keep bent till the tentacles touch the surface of ground.This cycle continues.
