Locomotion in ____ takes place with the help of a muscular foot.

Locomotion in ____ takes place with the help of a muscular foot.
Asnails
Bjellyfish
Csea urchins
Dearthworms

correct answer is: option a (snails)[snails]
Explanation: Snails are gastropods, a class of mollusks characterized by a single, usually spirally coiled shell. Their primary mode of locomotion is through a muscular foot, which secretes mucus to aid in movement. The foot contracts in waves, allowing the snail to glide along surfaces.

  • Option a: Snails indeed use a muscular foot for locomotion. This is their primary way of moving.
  • Option b: Jellyfish move by jet propulsion, contracting their bell-shaped body to expel water. They do not have a muscular foot.
  • Option c: Sea urchins primarily move using tube feet, which are small, water-filled appendages that extend from their body. They do not have a muscular foot.
  • Option d: Earthworms move using setae (small bristles) and the contraction of their body muscles. They do not have a muscular foot in the same way as snails.
