Motility refers to the ability of an organism or cell to move independently using its own energy. In biology, motility can refer to the movement of whole organisms, such as animals, or the movement of individual cells, such as bacteria or sperm.
Consider the role of motility in disease processes, such as the motility of cancer cells.
By understanding the concept of motility and its implications, you can gain insight into the diverse ways in which organisms and cells move and function in their environments.
Plan and carry out investigations that demonstrate the chemical and physical processes that form rocks and cycle Earth’s materials (e.g., processes of crystallization, heating and cooling, weathering, deformation, and sedimentation).
