Overview
After completion of this lesson, student must be able to:
- Classify nonflowering plants up to subdivision and explain their characters with suitable example.

Notes
Classification of Living Things
The arrangement of organisms into groups based on particular characters is called classification. The system of assigning two names, first generic name and second specific name in Latin to an organism is called binomial system of nomenclature.

Plant Kingdom
Plant kingdom includes all the unicellular and multicellular plants. Cryptogams are primitive and simplest plants while all kinds of flowering plants are called phanerogams. Algae include all those thallophytes which contain green pigment as chlorophyll. This note provides us the information about plant kingdom and it's classification with example. Learn More
Animal Kingdom I
On the basis of presence or absence of vertebral column, animal kingdom is divided into invertebrate and vertebrate. The animals which lack backbone are called invertebrates. This note provides us the information about the animal kingdom, protozoa, Porifera, coelenterates, Platyhelminthes, and Annelida. Learn More
Animal Kingdom II
Phylum protozoa includes small, microscopic animals. Poriferons are aquatic and most of them are marine. Coelenterates are hollow and tubular and their cells are much more specialized than sponges. This note provides further information about classification of animal kingdom. Learn More© 2019-20 Kullabs. All Rights Reserved.
