What is true for the movement of all organisms is that it is because of energy. What is also true is that that energy must overcome obstacles in order for there to be movement. Those obstacles can be drag, friction, gravity, or inertia. Beyond those basic truths, there will be variation depending upon the type of organism. For example, in some cases, there is an internal skeleton that provides a framework to support movement. In other cases, there is an external skeleton. And in still others, there is none. With some organisms, movement is carried out with the help of appendages. For others, it is carried out through muscles.
