Detailed explanation-3: -Movement is a fundamental function shared by all living organisms, although how, where, why and when they move differs enormously. The movement of organisms is central to many important themes in current research, including global warming, habitat fragmentation, epidemiology and species invasions.

Detailed explanation-4: -They may walk, run, jump, crawl, climb, swim, glide, or fly. They can do this because they have muscles that are triggered to contract (shorten) by nerves (electrical signals from the brain). When muscles contract, they pull on a part of the body, such as part of the skeleton (bones).
