(d) Locomotion
Locomotion is NOT a life process. Life processes include nutrition, respiration, transportation, and excretion — functions essential for body maintenance.
The textbook (Section 5.1) defines life processes as maintenance functions essential for survival, listing nutrition, respiration, transport, and excretion. Locomotion (movement from place to place) is not listed as a life process; movement may indicate life, but locomotion itself is not a maintenance function. Examiners expect students to distinguish between movement/locomotion and actual life processes.
