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..

Any system where there is a constant exchange of matter and energy from the surrounding environment is called as open system. All living organisms represent open systems. Any state of a system where the rate of input of energy and matter is equal..

Living organisms are exposed to various external or foreign substances and disease causing organisms like bacteria, viruses and fungi. Such organisms which can cause a disease are known as Pathogens. It is observed that some human beings are more prone to a certain disease and some ..
