This document discusses the locomotion of various unicellular organisms. It describes how hydra moves through somersaulting, bending, walking upside down, climbing and gliding. Amoeba uses pseudopodia made of cytoplasm to move towards food particles. Paramecium uses cilia on its surface to move in a rhythmic motion. Euglena uses flagella to whip itself through water. Bacteria can use flagella, spiral shapes, or water/wind flows to move.

3. Locomotion-various type

4. Introduction
There are different types of unicellular organisms
found.Hydra,paramecium,euglena etc. are the
important ones among them.They have different types
of locomotory organs for their movement.This
presentation is to give information about their
locomotions.

5. Hydra
 Hydra is a microscopic organism found in
water
 Food captured using tentacles
 Moving the tentacles for gathering food and
contracting the whole body are the common
movement

6.  There are different modes of locomotion found in
hydra such as:
 somersaulting
Bending and straightening
Walking upside down
Climbing
Gliding
Flotation

7. Amoeba
Amoeba is a unicellular organism found in water
Pseudopodia are locomotory organs in amoeba
Cytoplasm present in the amoeba helps in the
digestion of food particles
The extension of cytoplasm towards the direction of
movement are the pseudopodia

8. Paramecium
Paramecium is a unicellular organism
The hair-like cytoplasmic filament in the paramecium
are called cilia
Cilia present in the surface of cell help in their
rhythmic movement makes the locomotion possible

9. Euglena
o It is a microscopic organism found in water
o Flagella are the long cytoplasmic filaments and also
helps in locomotion
o Whipping these flagella helps in movement and makes
locomotion possible

10. Bacteria
Flagella are the common locomotory organ in some of
the bacterias.eg.vibrio cholerae
Some uses spiral shaped body eg.triponema,for
locomotion
Others move according to the flow of water or wind
