diversity of living organisms plantae

Introduction - Every organism whether plant or animal is unique in itself. There is a wide diversity in the flora (plants) and fauna (animals) in the world. The diversity we see today is the result of 3.5 billion years of organic evolution. During the course ..

Taxonomy is a regular branch of science that is involved with the purpose of arranging or grouping organisms..

Question 1 - Question: What is the necessity of classification of organisms? Answer: Organic evolution has been taking place for 3.5 billion years. It is impossible to study every living organism from an individual level. Therefore, classification is necessar..

More than a million species of living organisms have been discovered and described so far and a large number of them are yet to be discovered. Scientists involved in this task, called taxonomists, estimate that there may be around 30 million species of living ..

Animal Diversity - Among the members of the animal kingdom, about 95% do not posses a backbone (or vertebral column) and hence are described as invertebrates. The remaining animals represent a group called chordates, which posses a solid supporting structure on the dorsal side of the body..

Summary - In the modern system of classification, living organisms are grouped under five kingdoms, as proposed by Whittaker (1966). The Kingdom Monera includes bacteria and blue green algae, both of which possess prokaryotic cells. Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes that have..

The micro-organisms like cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and photosynthetic bacteria can also fix nitrogen. Some cyanobacteria also act as symbionts and are present in association with lichens; liverwort - Anthoceros; fronds of water fern - Azolla and roots of a gymnosperm - Cyc..
