Thallophyta These are the plants with no body differentiation They do have a specific root, stem, leaves so they do not have specific differentiation They prefer aquatic habitats examples :-green algae In thallophyta they have a hidden reproductive system -cryptogamae Algae They are autotrophic Habitat :- Mostly aquatic (freshwater/ marine ) , found in most soil/ wood Structure :- It can be unicellular,colonial, filamanteous Examples :-volvox ( colonial ), Chlamydomonas (unicellular ), Ulothrix (filamenteous ), Spirogyra ( filamenteous ), Ulva, Cladophora (branched filaments) it is also known as river weed Algae reproduction Asexual reproduction :- Fragmentation Parent organism will break into new pieces or multiple pieces on maturity, each of which give rise to a new individual. Example :- spirogyra when it becomes matures it breaks into new pieces and each of these pieces are able to give rise to a ne...
Biological classification Topics Introduction 2-kingdom classification whittaker 5-kingdom classification kingdom monera Archaebacteria Eubacteria Mycoplasma kingdom protista chrosophytes Dianoflagellates Euglenoids Slime moulds Protozoans Kingdom fungi Phycomycetes Ascomycetes Basidiomycetes Deuteromycetes Viruses,viroids &lichens Introduction classification of living organism classifying living organism into groups based on their certain set of characteristics (characteristics is a feature or a quality belonging to a particular organism) Aristotle's attempt to classify living organism. He classified organisms based on habitats Land (terrestrial) -cat, dogs,human beings water(aquatic )-fish,shark,octopus Air(aerial )-bat,crow etc. He classified plants also; Herbs Shrubs Trees But then this type of classification is not very effective,because it was seen that even though there we...
Protista Characteristics Eukaryotes :-Specific membrane-bound cell organelles & distinct nucleus They are mostly unicellular i,e made of one cell Some are autotrophic, while other are heterotrophic They prefer moist and aquatic habitats They reproduce both sexually and asexually They are plant - like protists (algae) They are animal like - protists(protozoa) They are fungus like -protists (slime moulds, water moulds ) Protists They are of five types:- Chrysophytes Euglenoids Protozoans Dianoflagellates Slime moulds Chrysophytes They are also known as golden plants They are diatoms plant- like protists They contain chlorophyll, carotene, & Xanthophylls Rigid cell wall made of pectin/cellulose/sillica Habitat:- Aquatic Can be fresh water/ marine Float passively on water Mostly photosynthetic Diatoms: main producers of food in oceans Store food as oil Few are heterotrophic eating ...
