Structural Organisation in Animals and Plants

Classification is a dynamic scientific endeavour that seeks to organise creatures based on accumulated knowledge from various domains. It aids in defining the links between organisms and between organisms and their environments. Five Kingdom Classification System Historically, all living things were divided into two kingdoms: plants and animals (or so I was taught). Animals were […]

In biology, an organ is a collection of tissues in a living organism that has been specially designed to perform a specific function. Organs in higher animals are organised into organ systems; for example, the oesophagus, stomach, and liver are all organs of the digestive system, which includes the intestines. Organelles, like organs such as

Introduction Amoebas are distinguished from other bacteria by their ability to develop transient cytoplasmic extensions known as pseudopodia, or false feet, which they use to travel throughout the body. Animal locomotion based on this type of movement, which is known as amoeboid movement, is thought to be the most primordial form of animal mobility.  

Honey bees, despite the fact that they are among the highly famous bees, contribute to a significant percentage of any and all bee species. The Apini tribe of bees, that also falls mostly under genus Apis, seems to be the only group of bees that has survived to this day. Honey bees have been the

The five-kingdom classification that we observe today was not the original result of living organism classification. Carolus Linnaeus was the first to propose a two-kingdom categorisation, with just kingdom Plantae and kingdom Animalia included. The two-kingdom classification lasted for a long time, but it did not persist indefinitely because it did not consider many important

Biological categorization is the method of grouping species, including alive and dead, under categories based on features that are comparable to each other. In biology, taxonomy refers to the study of identifying and categorising species.Biological categorization is the method of grouping species, including alive and dead, under categories based on features that are comparable to

The latin coinage herbivora, first used by charles lyell in his principles of geology in 1830, is translated as “herbivore” in english. A herbivore is an animal that is anatomically and physiologically evolved to feed mostly on plant material, such as leaves or sea algae. Herbivorous animals often have mouthparts suited to rasping or grinding

The Nematoda, like many other animal phylums, are generally triploblastic and possess an embryonic mesoderm that is compressed between the ectoderm and endoderm. They are bilaterally symmetrical, that is a longitudinal section can divide them into right and left sides that are symmetrical. Whereas, the nematodes, or roundworms, contain a pseudocoelom which comprises both the

A genus is a scientific rank that groups species together based on shared traits (like structures or distinguishing characteristics) or phylogenetic relationships. In the biological categorization of living organisms, it is one of the eight main taxonomic ranks. It is lower than the family and higher than the species. There may be one or several

Moths and butterflies generally belong to the same insect family, namely the Lepidoptera. This category comprises over 180,000 species. The butterfly and moth possess their behavioural and physical differences. That involves butterflies being more active during the day time while moths are usually nocturnal. The stages between larva and adult also have differences . The
